classpath or package problems?

[darine darine]

Hi
what the settings of classpath with tomcat3.1 to access classes
directory?is it by default or what?
I have my files in the bottom of this message.
When i append the package name to the class name i do not need to import the package using the page directive. it works fine.
I've tried to put the bean java file in the beans directory under classes directory without "package beans;" statement and I've tried to run my jsp file,I still get the message can't load the bean class.
here my jsp file:
//=================
<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="stringBean" class="StringBean" />
<%-- <jsp:getProperty name="stringBean" property="message" /> --%
<jsp:setProperty name="stringBean" property="message" value="hello matt from new directories " />
<jsp:getProperty name="stringBean" property="message" /><br>
//===========================
Here is my bean java file:
//==========================
public class StringBean
{
private String message="No message specified ";
public void setMessage(String message)
{
this.message=message;
}
public String getMessage()
{
return this.message;
}
}

Try finding out from the compiled jsp's .java code. It could be problem with the package definition rather than classpath.

Thanks for your reply.
How and where do we can check out the jsp's java code?
however i've checked almost everyword and i've changed even the bean and the jsp file too,i still getting the same message that says can't load the class stringBean.
thanks again.

Try to do this:

//=================
<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="stringBean"
class="beans.StringBean" />
<%-- <jsp:getProperty name="stringBean" property="message" /> --%
<jsp:setProperty name="stringBean" property="message" value="hello matt from new directories " />
<jsp:getProperty name="stringBean" property="message" /><br>
//===========================
Here is my bean java file:
//==========================
package beans;
public class StringBean
{
private String message="No message specified ";
public void setMessage(String message)
{
this.message=message;
}
public String getMessage()
{
return this.message;
}
}

Thnaks for your time,it works the way you said,but it works even without the page directive.
My question is if i do not put " package beans;" in my stringBean.java file,can i use that directive as above"<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
and the i use the action <jsp:useBean id="stringBean" class="stringBean" />
can i do that?
thanks for your time again.

Either
"<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="stringBean" class="stringBean" />
or
<jsp:useBean id="stringBean" class="beans.stringBean" />
is ok.
But "package beans;" must appear in the "stringBean.java" file. If not, the compiled jsp (or servlet) can not find the "stringBean.class" via the class path search.
Compile "stringBean.java" without "package beans;" in the java file, and put the class file in the /web-inf/classes, and then use
<jsp:useBean id="stringBean" class="stringBean" /> without directive. See what you get.
