JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPC

[Manish Jaswal]

Hi,

I am getting the following exception while running a web application on Tomcat 3.2.1.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPC:\jakarta\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\work\localhost_8080%2FMessageWeb\_0002ftest_0002fjsp_0002fError_0002ejspError_jsp_0.java:15: Class test.msg.exceptions.MsgException not found in import.
import test.msg.exceptions.MsgException;

.
.
.
Earlier this application was working fine, but when I removed the old test server and created a new one, I am getting this exception.


Please help.

The class you're trying to import doesn't exist on the classpath.

Also, please see the JavaRanch naming policy and change your display name to conform with this policy. Thanks!

The class that i am using is in classes folder of WEB-INF. I am using this class in JSP. But I am not able to use any of the classes that I have created in javasource folder.

As the class is part of a package so it should be in proper folder structure means yours class should be under:
classes\test\msg\exceptions folder under WEB-INF.

Make sure when you deploy it the Java classes have been compiled and are properly deployed (under /WEB-INF/classes, in package hierarchy, as mentioned).
