Accessing Java Object in JSP

[Narasimhan Balasubramanian]

Here is a problem i have, might be a very basic issue to many here...
1. I have a java object at <server_root>/<application_directory>/javaclass directory.
2. The Class belongs to package javaclass
3. My jsp resides in <application_directory> and it does a
<%@ import="javaclass.ConnPool" %>
4. but when I try to instantiate the ConnPool it throws me an error
Class jsp_servlet._gs._eshop.ConnPool not found.
probably occurred due to an error in /GS/eShop/connection.jsp line 6:
ConnPool connP = new ConnPool();

Can anyone shed light on why the jsp page is not able to access the java object ?

TIA
Narsi

I have a java object at <server_root>/<application_directory>/javaclass directory.

To be available to your web application, your package hierarchy should be rooted at WEB-INF/classes.
Therefore, your class should reside in:

<server_root>/<application_directory>/WEB-INF/classes/javaclass

Does this apply even if I am using weblogic ?

[Bear Bibeault]

It does if weblogic follows the standards for web applications. (If it doesn't, I ditch it faster than a flaming porcupine!)
