Jsp and location of JavaBeans

[Sean Casey]

Hi,
I have a simple javabean class in a Player. I then have a jsp page that uses a scriptlet to create a new Player object. But every time I try to compile the jsp page (using Netbeans) I get an exception explaining that the Player class cannot be found. So my question is, do I need to adjust the classpath, or is there a special directory the javabean class needs to go in so that the jsp page can find it upon compilation?
Thanks for any help.

Well, you probrably want to make sure you are importing the class using the page directive or the <jsp:useBean> tag. Also make sure that WAR file is structed correctly and the package(s) are apart of your WAR file. I hope I understand your question.
for example

<%@ page language="java" import="cal.*" %>  

or

 <jsp:useBean id="table" scope="session" class="cal.TableBean" /> 

.
Craig.

Your java bean class should go in WEB-INF/classes (or, if it is packaged in a jar file, in WEB-INF/lib).

... and make sure that Netbeans knows to look for it there.

Thanks for all the suggestions. How do I make sure Netbeans knows where to look for the files? I think this may be my problem. Is there a specific way to do this?

Since this has clearly become a Netbeans issue, I was going to shuffle this along to the IDE forum, but noticed you had already posted there.
Please continue any discussion here and please don't cross-post what is essentially the same question in multiple fourms.
thanks,
