Please help me.

Did you import MyClass?

Is MyClass in a package other than the default?

Have you read the JSP FAQ entry on this very subject?

Starting with Java 1.4.1 non packaged (default package) classes can not be imported from packaged classes.
Put your classes in packages.

Thank u so much BEN.
Now it is working.
But why such a restriction is required?

Rgds
Sree

The restriction was always in the JRE spec but older versions of Sun's JRE let it slip through the cracks.
They tightened up the implementation in 1.4.1.

I'm not sure what the exact reason was but I think it's always been a good idea to explicitly package your classes.

[Added:]
See section 8, Bullet 2 in this page.
They don't really go into the reasoning here either.

I'll add this link to the JSP FAQ as well.
