please help me

You need to import your 'Counter' class in the jsp,

<%@page import="myPackage.Counter" %>

you mean the source code of the counter class, if i import like you, what you told mypackage.counter where the container look it for

<%@page import%> is just like Java import which you will be doing in your Java class. Either you can use complete class name (myPackage.MyClass.myMethod()) while accessing a class member or you can import the class and use the class name alone (as you did Counter.getCount()).
