calling java file from jsp

[amal shah]

Hello,
i am quite new to jsp. my aim is to call a java method from jsp but it gives compile time error. The code is:

  <%@ page import="java.util.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.io.File"%>
 
<%
WriteLog.Write("haha");

%>  

And the WriteLog class file is in WEB-INF/classes folder.
The error given is---> cannot resolve symbol WriteLog

help appreciated
cheers

You'll need to import the WriteLog class.

Hello,
what i infer from your statement is to put WriteLog class in a package say "abc" and the abc folder in WEB-INF/classes folder and have a import statement. But still it say's---> cannot resolve symbol.

help appreciated

What does the import statement look like? Have you restarted the web app since putting the class file into the WEB-INF/classes/abc directory?

hello,

   <%@ page import="java.util.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.io.File"%>
<%@ page import="abc.WriteLog"%>
 
<%
WriteLog.Write("haha");

%> 

i did restart the tomcat....but still it gives the same compile time error

help appreciated

This implies that it should be obvious to everyone that you put the class file in that directory. Since, in your first post, you wrote "And the WriteLog class file is in WEB-INF/classes folder." it is anything but obvious.
See AvoidRedHerrings to find out how you have just wasted the time of those trying to help you.

Maybe there are some other details that you haven't mentioned yet?
