importing java class files

[david allen]

I have this statement in a jsp file
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

and I am only able to access the File class by using the following syntax
java.io.File
Where an I going wrong?
Thanks david

To make use of File class without fully specified class name import java.io.* also.

Why did you think that importing java.util would also pick up java.io?

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
or can you send your JSP file ?

While there's no problem, there's no way it is going to import the io package either. For that

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>

is needed.
