Help - import own classes in jsp

Hey guys..
I'm working on a Shopping cat project which is in the directory -
C:\Tomcat 6\webapps\ROOT\cart
I've written one code in shop-product.jsp as below -

 import = "ShoppingBasket, Product, java.sql.*"
 errorPage = "errorpage.jsp" %>
<html>
<head> <title>Welcome to Shop</title></head>

<td colspan="4" align ="right">
<a href = "<%=response.encodeURL("shop-basket.jsp") %>"> View Basket </a></td>
</tr><tr>
<td>Ref</td>Title</td>
<td>Price</td></td></tr>
<%
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
Connection connection = null;
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/shop", "root", "rahul");

stmt = connection.createStatement();
RS = stmt.executeQuery("select * from items");
int rowCounter = 0;
 while(RS.next())
 String item_id = RS.getString("id");
 String title = RS.getString("title");
 String desc = RS.getString("desc");
 String price = RS.getString("price");
 rowCounter=rowCounter+1;
 String bg= (rowCounter % 2 !=0) ?"#C0C0C0":"#ffffff";
%>

What You need to do is to place ShoppingBasket class in a package and import to fully qualified class name (which is class name with package name). I also discourage You to use scriptlets - it's an obsolete, old technology.

How to import my own class in jsp file

HELP: Import my own class in JSP ???

Hi, all!
I read many previous topics in this forum but no one works for me!
Please someone help me!
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.12 and my JSP scripts work just fine, but I need to import my own .class file. I just don't know where to put it so Tomcat can find it!?
I have this environment variable:
JAVA_HOME=.;c:\jdk1.3.1
And in my code I'want to place something like this:
<%@ page import="myClass" %>
But I get a "can not resolve symbol" exception.
Thanks for readind this, and please help if you can!
Bye.
adriano

Within the Tomcat directory, under your application directory place the class file/s into the WEB-INF/classes directory. If your classes are part of a package place the entire directory structure of the package under the WEB-INF/classes directory.
The import in the JSP is the same as for any Java class.
Hope this solves your problem.

NullPointerException - importing my own class to JSP

Hi.
I'm writing a JSP page. I also made a class in WEB-INF/classes/org/MyXml.class. When I try to run this class from console, there is no problems at all. But if i try to use function from that class in JSP, i get this (the same error i get whichever function i try to use (btw, all functions are static, as they should be, right?)):
java.lang.NullPointerException
 org.MyXml.CountProducts(MyXml.java:46)
 org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:75)
 org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:94)
 javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)

 org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:236)
 javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
I used this class like this:
<%@ page import="org.MyXml" %>
<%
MyXml.CountProducts();
%>
I'm also a bit confused, it says that error is on line 46. Well, there's just a comment!
Please help. Thanks.

pqeuens,
MyXml is his class. his methods are static, so, import="org.MyXml.*" won't work. It would either be import="org.*" or import="org.MyXml" (which he has)
paull1911
"What file are you looking at to find line 46? It is the java file (a servlet) corresponding to the jsp file."
It should actually be in the org.MyXml.java file. The stack trace line is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
org.MyXml.CountProducts(MyXml.java:46)
someone_
You know from the above error line that the error is in MyXml.CountProducts method. After making sure you are working with the most up-to-date version of the class, (if that doesn't help you get a more accurate line number) walk through the CountProducts method and see where you might be trying to access an object that has not yet been instantiated (either using someObject.someMethodOrMember, or someArray[index])

How can i import my classes in jsp?

Dear All,
i want to access my classes in jsp. i am using apache tomcat
server. let me know where i have to put my own packages and
how can i use them in jsp.
thanks

Put them in directory /WEB-INF/classes under you webcontext. You can use them in your jsp by importing them or using the useBean directive.

Not able to import a class in jsp

Hello.
I want to import a custom java class (non-packaged) that resides in the same directory as the
jsp file.
I tried the page directive as:
<%@ page import="MyClass.class" %>
But Tomcat complains and doesn't compile.
Shows the following error message:
No identifier.
What's wrong here? Is there another way to import a custom class?
Please help. Thank you.

You need to place your custom class in a package. Has to do with tomcat not giving you access to the default package.

Import java-classes in JSP-page

Hi,
I'm starting with JSP and with trying one of the first examples in the book "beginning J2EE 1.4" from wrox, i got following problem.
i'm trying to import a java-class in the package CH03 with
<%@ page import="Ch03.FaqCategories" %>but he didn't find the package Ch03.
I try already many things and i have no idea of the cause of the problem. So it's difficult to give information that leads to the solution.
Maybe helpfull is the direcory-structure:
jsp-page: /Ch03/welcome.jsp
java-classe: /Ch03/WEB-INF/classes/Ch03/FaqCategories.class
If you need source-codes or other information, just ask.
Thanks,
Dennis

Thank you,
Your help was one step into the good direction and that problem is solved.
The application work now with studio one, but if i try it to work it with a stand-alone tomcat server it doesn't work anymore. I go first try to solve this problem by my self or at least try to describe the problem more exactly, before i ask for new help.
but if you have any idea, that's always welcome...
with regards,
Dennis

Can't import own classes...

I'm very new to java. I rented a book called Java 2 Grand Cru to learn it on my own. It is based on Java 1.3 but I have 1.4 installed. Now I wanted to write a simple program with a class in an other directory. I added that directory to CLASSPATH so my compiler could find it. These are the 2 programs
import printer;
public class test
     public static void main(String[] args)
          (new printer()).print();
}and
public class printer
     public void print()
          System.out.println("test");
}So I want the first class to use the second to print "test"!
Now I can compile public class printer without any problems but when I compile the first one, I get this:
test.java:1: '.' expected
import Printer;
               ^
1 error
Process Exit Code: 1
Time Taken: 00:00
i don't get it. Is there anything changed with the import instruction in the new version of Java2?
regards

It is the error of my code but probably I did something bad with the copy paste thing :-)... The 'P' should be a 'p'
Anyhow, I don't understand your first comment. 'printer.class' isn't a default package. I made it myself...
regards

Help importing a class and initializing it

Hi guys...
I have a (what I think is) a little problem but after being the whole night awake I can´t think anymore...
I have a button which sends you to frame 10 and in frame 10 I suppose to intialize the class I imported:
import Payment;
getpremium.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, PI);
function PI(e:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop(10);
Now in frame 10 the only thing I have is:
Payment();
and the class (how it starts) is:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.text.TextFormat; //etc
public class Payment extends Sprite
        private var paymentSystem:PaymentSystem;
        private var buyList:List;
        private var loader:URLLoader;
        private var pastPurchases:Array = [];
        private var alltextformats:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
        public function Payment()
            paymentSystem = new PaymentSystem(); //etc
What do I suposse to write down on frame 10 for the class to be initialized?
Thanks!!!

Normally what you need to do is instantiate a Payment object...
import Payment;
var payment:Payment = new Payment();

Problem to Import my own classes

I try to import own classes to unother class
I have all classes in the same map
import StockTablePanel;
when I tried to compile the code it says
�.� expected
StockTablePanel;
What is wrong?

I try to import own classes to unother class
I have all classes in the same mapAlso if by the same map you mean the same folder then you don't even have to import the class.

ACK! Importing classes in JSP?!?! HELP!!!

I am REALLY new to the JSP world and just finished creating a java applet that creates a graph and two combo boxes containing information that I need to display on a web page.
The problem is that I have just been told to convert it to JSP? Is this possible? If it IS possible, how do you import a public class into JSP?
Thanks sooooo much for your help!!!!!
Adam

Answer is yes you can import a java class
Here is how it works
use the following
<%@ page import="com.temp.YourClass*" %>
Assuming that you classpath is set properly
Thanks

Pls help! How to put JSP import statement...

Hi, I just created a simple iView JSP that imports htmlb classes and now I'd like to import my own java classes onto it. For example, in my other projects, my JSP's have <%@ page import="project28.practice.contextClass" %> on top of the page. I currently have a file called practice.jar
If I want to put this import statement into my simple iView JSP and use it, what would I have to do/configure?, do I have to transform it into a .par file? Or can I transport the jar file to the portal? Any changes on NetWeaver?
I am new to this so any detailed help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
Baggett

Hi Detlev, thank you for your response! I'd like to include more details of my situation right now: I have 2 projects on NetWeaver:
Project#1: Java Web application Project. (jar files, WEB-INF, WEB-INF/web.xml, JSP's...)
Project#2: Portal Application Project. (JSPDynPage, sap plugins, PORTAL-INF/portalapp.xml, JSP)
I'd want my JSP file in Project#2 to call some classes from the jar files of Project#1.
From my understanding, to do this I need to make a .par file out of Project #1 and then upload the par file to my SAP EP6.0 so that my future JSP's can import classes from it. Am I correct?
I am confused right now as to how to really do this. On Netweaver, I am getting a Error when I try to do: File --> New --> Project --> Portal Application --> Create a Portal Application Project > I then enterProject Name: TestProject28, Project root folder: c:\TestProject\webapps\project1
--> "ERROR: Invalid project description, Reason:An error has occured while trying to create the project structure"
If possible can you please provide detailed instructions on how to configure or build a par file out of my java web application stated above?
Thank you so much for your time and help!
