JasperException: Unable to load class for JSP From Tomcat

Hi Friends,

Iam not able to access the one of the page in my application. For this i need to delete the work folder and need to restart the server. I need to know the exact reason for this issue.

Iam using Tomcat 6.0 and JDK: 1.6.0_07. OS is Win XP.

Following is the error that iam getting. I am using Spring in my project.

Thanks,

In which folder does your JSP compareTestRunResults.jsp reside??

How do you call this page (i.e: from the application) ? And where is the exact location of it inside the application?
