Calling a class in JSP page using Tomcat 5.5

Question

Hi,
I want to call a java class in a JSP page but getting error.
I am trying to deploy JSP through a WAR file so for that I have created folder structure as per requirement and in WEB-INF folder, I kept web.xml file.
What entry exactly I have to make in web.xml file as I am using Tomcat 5.5 webserver. When the same code I put in JSP then it works.
my web.xml entry is
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TBS</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>pack1.GetData</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TBS</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/JSP/TBS_main</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Do I need to change in it or we have to make some more entries in different XML files.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Mukesh

Answer 1

you dont have to specify the class file in the web.xml just import it on your jsp then instatiate the class on the scriplet and you can call the methods on it.
