How to import non-package class in JSP ?

We have develped an enterprise solution in java 1.3 . Some of the controller and controller helper classes donot have any package structure. So they are been kept in web_inf/classes. When any jsp tries to refrence these classes class not found exception arise.
One solution is to put these classes in package and write approprite import statement. But this involve lot of changes. Kindly suggest a solution which can have minimum impact.
I have even jared all these classes into a jar and put that jar in the class path. But still its not working.

It should not be web_inf , the case and the spelling matters it should be WEB-INF , make that correction and see if it works.
If not then, use an IDE to refactor your code.
Some good IDEs with refactoring capabilities are
IntelliJ IDEA - commercial
NetBeans - open source I think (not sure)
Eclipse Web Tools - also open source
Using packages is a good practice, and will make your application more understandable.

How to import a jar file in JSP

How to import a Jar file in JSP Page.
please reply its very urgent!

Hey I am facing a similar problem:
I have this jar file lbswebservice.jar that I have to use for my application.
I added it to the classpath, I copied it in my WEB-INF/lib folder, but when I try to access classes in this package, it doesnt work.
For example the jar contains the package com.blipsystems.lbs.ws.messages.* ; that contains different classes, like the Campaign class.
I tried to use this class (just to create an object) in different context (through jsp, or just through java test classes), but it never works, i get the error: com.blipsystems.lbs.ws.messages.Campaign cannot be resolved to a type
I am a bit desperate here...

How to import user defined class in UIX page?

Does anyone know how to import user defined class in UIX page so that the class can be called in the javascript in the UIX ?
Thks & Rgds,
Benny

what you are referring to is not javascript.
it is JSP scriptlets. These are very different.
In order to keep a strict separation between View and Controller, it is not possible to run arbitrary java code from within your UIX code.
However, you can run java code from within a UIX event handler; see:
http://otn.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/topic?inOHW=true&linkHelp=false&file=jar%3Afile%3A/u01/app/oracle/product/IAS904/j2ee/OC4J_ohw/applications/jdeveloper904/jdeveloper/helpsets/jdeveloper/uixhelp.jar!/uixdevguide/introducingbaja.html
event handler code is run before the page is rendered.

Importing Inter-package classes

hello
I have never had this problem before but I just 'downgraded' to JDK 1.1.8 because the code will be used on my PDA. I am trying to import Inter-package classes but the compiler it cannot find the classes I've imported. This code was working perfectly in j2sdk1.4.2_02
I think the code is right all files saved in folder graphs and beginning looks like this:
package graphs;
import graphs.AxisParameter;

Yes they are in the same folder with 'package graphs;' in the 1st line,
i've tried with and without package.class to no avail
the exact errors i'm getting are
without the package in front
error: File .\CustomLabel.class does not contain type CustomLabel as expected, but type graphs.CustomLabel. Please remove the file or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the class path
with the graphs.CustomLabel i get the following errors
error: Invalid class File formate: .\graphs\CustomLabel.class, wrong version: 46, expected 45
2nd error: Class graphs.CustomLabel not found in import.

How to import a package in jsp

i've searching here and i've not found answer to this, so i write it here.
i've created a class to send mail, it imports the javax.mail.* and javax.activation.*, in a package named jspbeans.
now, when i try to use this package in my jsp page (using tomcat), gives me the error:
Package jspbeans not found in import
import jspbeans.*;
the code for my jsp page is:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sending mail from JSP</title>
</head>
<body>
<%@ page import="jspbeans.*"%>
<jsp:usebean id="sendmail" class="jspbeans.SendMail" scope="page"/>

it generates a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/MessagingException
i changed the package to that directory and the import generates no errors, if i do nothing but the import, and soem printing, the page is generated, but when i try to assign the variables, generates that error, why is it?

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.

Can't access non ejb classes from JSP - NoClassDefFound error

          Hi,
          I have one session ejb which has a method returning a collection of non ejb class objects (say of Class 'Foo').
          The method signature is like :
          "Collection getFinacialData() throws RemoteException"
          It is working fine with normal java clients. Now when I run this from a JSP it gives a "NoClassDefFoundError". I kept class 'Foo' and the remote interface of the session bean in the same package and also in the same ejb jar file. Also I am running JSP and ejb in same WL server(ver 5.1, SP8 on solaris). What I have done is only deployed the bean jar file. Do I need to do anything more?
          thanks in advance.


I ran into a similar problem. I solved it by putting the client classes for
          accessing my EJB in the WebLogic POST_CLASSPATH in the startWebLogic script
          file:
          set POST_CLASSPATH=d:\weblogic\myserver\myClient.jar
          For more information on class visibility between the JSP and EJB class
          loaders, check out

How to import a java class

I want to know how can i import some java classes to my application.
I'm trying to write a little class as:
package paco.view;

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
import javax.faces.convert.ConverterException;
import oracle.jbo.domain.ClobDomain;
public class ClobConverter implements Converter {
public ClobConverter() {
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context,
UIComponent component,
String value) {
if (context == null || component == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("FacesContext and UIComponent can not be null");
if (value == null) {
return null;
try {
return new ClobDomain(value);
} catch (Exception ex) {
final String message =
String.format("Unable to convert boolean value \"%s\" into a oracle.jbo.domain.Number",
value);
throw new ConverterException(message, ex);

Error(5,8): class javax.faces.convert.Converter not found
Error(6,8): class javax.faces.convert.ConverterException not found
What should I do?
Thanks in advance
FRANCISCO

You need to add the faces library to you project. To do this, select the project properties, go to libraries and class path and select the faces library.
Using JDev you can also choose one or more project technologies (project properties->technology scope) which will add the needed libraries to the project.

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.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:324)
     org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:292)
     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])

In jsp we have page directive to import a java class. Do we have anything similar to that in a jspx page?

Hello,
If you create a new jspx file in jdeveloper, the untitled file generated will be this:
