Unable to compile class exception

[Mike Han]

Hello
I am using tomcat 3.2 on local machine,in one of my jsp page I have directive <%@ page import = "java.util.ArrayList" %> when this page is accessed in the program, tomcat gave the message :
Unable to compile class for JSPD:\tomcat\work\localhost_8080%2Fconference\_0002fsrc_0002flbm_0002fPaperManJSP_0002ejspPaperManJSP_jsp_0.java:15: Class java.util.ArrayList not found in import.
import java.util.ArrayList;
^

Can anybody give me any help on that?
Thanks in advance.
Mike

It sounds like maybe your JAVAHOME is not correctly set. It needs to be pointed to your JDK. Are you able to run other servlets/apps on this same machine, or is this your first one, because it sure sounds like your servlet engine can't see your JDK.

Hello Dave
Thank you for response.
The other jsps and servlets work well.Even for this JSP page,once I changed the
import="java.util.ArrayList"
to
import="java.util.*"
compiling can go through this statement but failed at the Arraylist variable I define in the page.

ArrayList is available in java 2 and up. You must be using jdk 1.1.something. and not jdk 1.2 or higher. You can either download JDK 1.2.2 or higher or just use a Vector instead of ArrayList.
