JSP - Servlet: package does not exist

[tomasz brymora]

... another PACKAGE DOES NOT EXIST problem tryint to run a JSP that needs some beans.


THE JSP IN QUESTION: (/java-sumton/)

<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*, JavaTomek_v1.*" %>

<jsp:useBean id="req" class="JavaTomek_v1.MultipartRequest">
<jsp:setProperty name="req" property="request" value="<%= request %>" />
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean id="validInput" scope="session" class="JavaTomek_v1.ValidEMail" />
<jsp:useBean id="se" scope="session" class="JavaTomek_v1.SendEMail"></jsp:useBean>

TOP OF THE MultipartRequest servlet: (/java-sumton/WEB-INF/classes/JavaTomek_v1)

package JavaTomek_v1;

import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

THE ERROR:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /sumton_mail.jsp

Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file

/var/tomcat4/work/Standalone/localhost/java-sumton/sumton_mail_jsp.java:8: package JavaTomek_v1 does not exist
import JavaTomek_v1.*;

WEB.XML:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MultipartRequest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>JavaTomek_v1.Table</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MultipartRequest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/JavaTomek_v1/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

-------

I didn't notice the web.xml make much difference except messing up (JSPs become invisible to Tomcat - 404) the whole setup (requiring tomcat reboot) if I do this:
<url-pattern>JavaTomek_v1</url-pattern>

any ideas about what's happening? I promise to post the solution here when this thing gets working

Two things tomasz:

1) Please watch your language. This is a professional forum.

2) Please use UBB code tags to preserve the formatting of your code. See the CODE button on the reply page.

That said, where are you placing the compiled package hierarchy for package JavaTomek_V1?

QUICK UPDATE:
turns out the initial problem was the fact that I needed to deploy COMPILED servlets, not sources. So much for making the wrong initial assumptions. That stems from an insanely positive experience of using another host service, where all one needs is to drop SOURCES into the appropriate places.

... so now, I've added NetBeans 4.0 to mess and was able to mirror the live projects structure in NetBeans. After compiling and uploading the sources, now I'm getting this Unknow Source error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: MultipartRequest
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(Unknown Source)

... rest of error printout skept ....

The web.xml file is the same one from yesterday, so do I have a web.xml error or pathing error in the JSP file?

You still didn't answer Bear's previous question:

That said, where are you placing the compiled package hierarchy for package JavaTomek_V1?

What is the layout of your app's directory structure?
