Classes and JSPs in Tomcat-4.1.24

Where to put the class files and how to call them in the jsps in Tomcat-4.1.24.
<br>In Tomcat-3.2.4 I used to put them in WEB-INF/classes and call them. The same jsp's working in Tomcat-3.x are not working in 4.1.24 version. Any idea???
Thanx in advance

Apparently tomcat4.1 requires all class files to be in a package so class files that you just had in WEB-INF/classes need to be re-compiled into packages.
Then you will need to import these classes into your jsp with a
<%@ page import= ..../> statement

  • Unable to compile class for JSP. apache-tomcat-6. What could be wrong?

    Hello, I am new to JSP and I am trying a very basic jsp and class file on Windows XP. I get the Unable to compile class for JSP.
    Steps that I have done:
    javac ch06_01.java , placed the ch06_01.class under
    C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps\ch06\WEB-INF\classes
    Then grabbed the ch06_02.jsp and placed it under
    C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps\ch06\
    When I run it (by placing this into Explorer or Firefox URL
    http://localhost:8080/ch06/ch06_02.jsp) I get the error further
    below. Things I have done and made sure they are in place are:
    set up JAVA_HOME to C:\Apps\jdk1.6.0_06
    Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.16
    Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.16
    Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\temp
    Using JRE_HOME: C:\Apps\jre1.6.0_06
    I did a google on the error and I found people saying to place the
    tools.jar from the jsk into the lib directory under CATALINA_HOME. But
    the examples still don't work. What step could I be missing? Your help is greatly
    appreciated.
    This is the simple jsp file:
    <%@ page import="ch06_01" %>
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Using a JavaBean</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H1>Using a JavaBean</H1>
    <% ch06_01 messager = new ch06_01(); %>
    The message is: <%= messager.msg() %>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    this is the simple ch6_01 java file:
    public class ch06_01
    public ch06_01()
    public String msg()
    return "Hello from JSP!";
    HTTP Status 500 -

    I just updated the directories of the variables to reflect the current status of my system.

    What is wrong is that you are using an "old" jsp tutorial :-)
    Since Java 1.4, JSPs have been unable to access classes in the "default" package.
    What you need to do:
    Put the java class ch06_01 in a package.
    Steps to do this
    - Edit ch06_01 and add the following to the very top of the file (without the quotes): "package mypackage;"
    - create a folder "mypackage"
    - move ch06_01.java into that folder
    - compile that class (now in the mypackage package)
    - place ch06_01.class under C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps\ch06\WEB-INF\classes\mypackage
    In your jsp:
    <%@ page import="mypackage.ch06_01" %>
    I would suggest using a more up-to-date tutorial that uses JSTL.
    Take a look at this [Apache Tomcat tutorial|http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/index.html]

  • Java Classes and JSP`s (urgent)

    hi, my question is:
    How can i invoke normal java classes` methods using Jsp`s for this??, is it possible??, if it is, then how do you do this, and where do you have to put the java classes in order to find them from a jsp.
    thanks

    Hi,
    You can access normal java classes in JSP pages. You have to import them in the header like this:
    <%@ page language="java" import="//your java class file with package"%>
    or if u r using java beans, then use the <usebean> tag. Put the java classes in the classes directory. Which server u r using? If it is JWS, then u have a specified classes directory, where u have to put all the class files along with their packages. Hope this will help.
    atanu.

    Hi,
    First of all, you can find alot of information about this in the forum about jsp's.
    I think a good thing to do is not to put your context tag directly into the server.xml file.
    What you should do is create a context.xml file with the context-tag in it, and put it in the META-INF directory of your .war file. Upon deployment to tomcat5 this file will be extracted from the war, copied to the conf\enginename\hostname directory, and it will be renamed to contextName.xml.
    I think you are developing directly into the webapps directory, and I believe you should avoid that and use the deployment feature of the manager web-app or you should use the deployertool from you ide or standalone ant.
    anyway, for starters try to remove the context tag from the server.xml file as described above, and check out the jsp / jdbc forums for simular problems and answers.
    good luck

  • Java Class and JSP file

    Hi everyone,
    I build a class in java, and now i wanna use this class in my jsp file.
    I put that class into web-inf/classes in Apache Tomcat, but don't work.... Anyone can help me?
    Greetings!

    Put the class with its package such as com.sun.ejb.MyClass
    -- > /WEB-INF/classes/com/sun/ejb/MyClass.class
    then use it

  • Ordinary java class and jsp page

    hi i want to use some java class(not javabean ) in my jsp . how do i import them and use them?

    You can just import the package into your JSP, and access it like any other class of the Standard Java API that you access.

  • Abstract Classes and JSP

    Hi
    I'm working on a tool wich can be used by different type of users. For example Employee, Administrator and Manager.
    So I thought I could create an abstract class User with subclasses employee, administrator and manager
    So depending on who logs on you could initiate the user:
    user = new Employee()
    However I'm not cuite sure how this works in JSP
    Is there a way to do this in the jsp:useBean tag or somewhere else?
    thx Babette

    You might want to check out the Delegation Pattern. Its for exactly this case.
    What happens if a Manager is also an Administrator? Do you give him two seperate logins to the system?
    Most likely you just want a user object, and assign the users "roles"
    One thing about the useBean tag it can take both a type and a class attribute:
    http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref1217.html#8865
    Class is the actual class of the object to instantiate
    Type is the type of object to declare it as - ie either a superclass or interface
    <jsp:useBaen name="user" class="com.Employee" type="com.User"/>
    Would generate code equivalent to
    User user = new Employee().
    Cheers,
    evnafets

  • Can not call bean class from JSp/Tomcat 5.5

    hello everyone...
    i m using one bean class Parser which is called by discussion.jsp page. i put class file in webapps/grid/WEB-INF/classes and JSP page is in webapps/grid/. The whole combination is working fine for tomcat 3.3.2 but not working properly in tomcat 5.5.
    Error is as follow...
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 38 in the jsp file: /discussion.jsp
    Generated servlet error:
    Parser cannot be resolved or is not a typeplease help me....
    Thank in Advance

    You still need to import the class from the default package. As a word of advice you should put the class in a package. The later versions of Tomcat do not play well with bean classes that are not in packages.

  • Problem importing classes and beans

    Hey there. Im having one major fustrating problem! When I code supporting classes and beans for my JSPs I get a code 500 internal server error when trying to import (via <%@ page import="class" %> and <jsp:useBean/>) Im storing my classes and beans in the WEB-INF folder and the calling JSPs are located in /ROOT/tests/8/jsp.jsp. Im using the following to import a class or bean:
    <%@ import="aClass" %>
    Seen as tho its in the WEB-INF folder I won't have to explicitly refer to where the class is located, just the class name.
    I never had this problem when I was using my hosting service. Its only on my localhost server in which I get the Internal Server error.
    Help appreciated, thx.
    PS: Im quite new to JSP/Java Servlet.

    import (via <%@ page import="class" %> and
    <jsp:useBean/>) Im storing my classes and beans in the
    WEB-INF folder try put your class file in WEB-INF/classes.
    or first put bean in the package, like WEB-INF/classes/packagename/beanclass
    in jsp page:
    <jsp:useBean id="Mybean" class="packagename.beanclass" scope="request" />
    Question: is /ROOT a context entry in your server.xml?
    Which JSP Container (version) you use? Maybe your localhost server's set up is different with your hosting.

    I am using Tomcat 4.1 with with JDK1.3.1_01. I have a JSP page in which I try to use a Bean, but I get the following error from Tomcat.

    ***************** END TOMCAT ERROR MESSAGE *********************

    Hi
    I am running my Tomcat apps (on a Windows dev machine) in an alternate location (ie. not default webapps). The same crap comes to me every time. Unable to install etc. I have tried every trick in the book regarding classpath settings etc.
    When I use 'javap' to check the classpath from any location on my machine, its works and javap returns the signature of my class.
    When I use it though Tomcat (with the import set to include the filename), it get the error. I have heard rumors that using JDK 1.3 in stead of 1.4 helps, but I just want it to work with 1.4 :)
    So if any of you can help me on this, please.
    PS. On my linux server it works just fine, as does every other thing on that machine ;)

  • Importing class in a jsp using Tomcat

    Hello All,
    Using Tomcat:
    I have class here:
    examples/WEB-INF/classes/ package/myclass.class
    I have a .jsp here:
    examples/JSPFolder/myjspfile.jsp
    I want to import the class into the jsp.
    I have tried the following combinations of importy lines based on previous posts on these boards and each have failed with same error:
    Unable to load class for JSP
    <%@ page import="myclass" %>
    <%@ page import="myclass.*" %>
    <%@ page import="package.myclass" %>
    <%@ page import="package.myclass.*" %>
    <%@ page import="WEB-INF/classes/package/myclass%>
    I have seen a number of posts for this same problem, and have tried those solutions as well, but none work. I am sure that this is simply a problem of finding the right directory, as I can successfully run the .jsp file iwhen I remove the import line.
    Can someone please help?

    There is a folder for shared packages
    tomcat_root\lib; or
    tomcat_root\common
    also most versions have a lib or common folder for each webapp for packages that are not to be shared.
    tomcat_root\webapps\appname\web-inf\lib
    Agreed that it is strange to allow servlets to import from the classes foler but not JSPs. It should make no difference but it is convension to place single classes in the same folder as the app's directory and packages (especially jar's) in the lib directory.
