JSP unable to compile class error

[Anthony Leroy]

Hi, I know some have asked similar questions before and I have tried the suggestions that were given in the replies but none have worked.
I'm getting:
--------
Error: 500
Location: /examples/jsp/showall.jsp
Internal Servlet Error:

--------------
my jsp file is in the c:\Tomcat\webapps\examples\jsp folder
and the class file (ConnectDB) is in the c:\Tomcat\webapps\examples\web-inf\classes folder
--------------
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ant

Did you Check the package name of ConnectDB.java file?
regds.

"Class jsp.ConnectDB not found"
Unless you actually HAVE a package named "jsp" which contains a class named "ConnectDB", it looks like you didn't supply the java import statement for the package that actually does contain class ConnectDB.

Hi,
All class files keep into ..\web-inf\classes this directory
(like web-inf\classes\com ( com is the totaly package for
project..this one keep into the web-inf\classes directory).
If U r file in the com\mm\ex\ConnectDB.In jsp
U write <%@ page import="com.mm.ex.ConnectDB" %>this one.
IF I'm wrong Correct me.
