cannot be resolved to a type

[preet girn]

Hello to all,

when i was practise a small application i got the error msg "DogBean cannot be resolved to a type"

I have a html form that sends 2 parameter to a controller servlet(named Controller.java),
In this servlet i set both of these parameters as attributes of next request, along with this i set an object of DogBean(a bean class containing 2 properties) as request attribute.
And call a JSP(using RequestDispatcher) named result.jsp (It will just display these attribute values).

Using
<%= request.getAttribute("name") %> 1st attribute( contains the value of 1st parameter of HTML form)


<%= request.getAttribute("type") %> 2nd attribute( contains the value of 2nd parameter of HTML form)


<%= request.getAttribute("dog") %> 3rd attribute ( contains the object of DogBean)

gives the expected result
Abc
A
DogBean@234567

But
when i try to type cast it to DogBean the error occurs.

<%= ((DogBean)request.getAttribute("dog")).getDogname() %>


Compilation of JSP File '/result.jsp' failed:
result.jsp:9:7: DogBean cannot be resolved to a type
<%= ((DogBean)request.getAttribute("dog")).getDogName() %>

Hi Preet,

you need to import the dogbean in the jsp like you import the class in servlets.
Please mark the issue for close if you find the answer proper.
