HttpServletRequest cannot be resolved to a type in JSP - eclipse

Hi,
i've created a webapp in eclipse ver 3.2.
my jsp looks like this:
<%!
private boolean checkLoginRule(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Integer nLevel) {
// if user was already authenticated pass him on
if (request.getSession(true).getAttribute("userID") == null)
response.sendRedirect("index.jsp");
else {
Integer nUserLevel =(Integer)request.getSession(true).getAttribute("userRole");
if (nUserLevel.intValue() < nLevel.intValue())
return false;
return true;
%>
i'm getting an error:
HttpServletRequest cannot be resolved to a type
What to do?

import the following package...
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

ServletContext cannot be resolved to a type

ServletContext cannot be resolved to a type error in Eclipse
Hi,
I keep getting the following error in my workspace:
"ServletContext cannot be resolved to a type"
The code seems to work fine in other JSP's but when I copy to some pages the error appears.
Could someone please provide some advise on why the error occurs? And maybe were to look to find a solution?
Thanks in advance.

MyClass cannot be resolved to a type

am looking to call a java class from within a servlet but am having this error on compilation: "MyClass" cannot be resolved to a type.
my code look like follows showing the file path where am using eclipse :
<eclipse>/workspace/MyApp/src/pal/MyClass.java
package pal;
public class MyClass
    public MyClass()
}<eclipse>/workspace/MyApp/src/pal/MyServlet.java
package pal;
import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws IOException, ServletException
          new MyClass();
}what did i miss?

Personally I dislike Netbeans, I found it to be ugly, non-intuitive and buggy. I already threw it away from my system after only 5 mins of testing. It's only good for ones who are really, really new to Java and by a coincidence got Netbeans in the JDK pack, and/or followed the Sun tutorials wherein Netbeans is pushed up, and/or still know nothing about the existence of other IDE's and what they all provides.

JspWriter cannot be resolved to a type

The following is CheckAddress.jsp page which checks if the form has the name and phone fields filled in or not. If not then it must print the errors. But the problem I am having is that the Eclipse is showing me the error "JspWriter cannot be resolved to a type".
If I ignore this error and run the page in the j2ee preview server in eclipse than I get the following error:

Thanks elOpalo, even though eclipse is still showing the error, things are running fine after I rectified my typing mistake about the prinln. :)

Class name cannot be resolved to a type

Dear All,
I have one main class calling another class but I keep getting this error "
SMSClient cannot be resolved to a type". Before this I tried on other pc it was ok. Below is part of the codes. What could have been wrong? Can it be a missing library but how to trace that?
public class callSMSClient{   public static void main(String[] args) {
          SMSClient t1 = new SMSClient(0);

Dear Ejp,
I would like to first share a simple case here first. Below is the simplied codes. Here I dont need any import statement. I keep both this in the same directory. I am using this command to compile javac callSMSClient.java. Why even this simple case is not working?
public class callSMSClient{
public static void main(String[] args)
     SMSClient t1 = new SMSClient(1);
     t1.sendMessage("+6014466044","testing one two");
public class SMSClient {
private int mode=-1;
private String recipient=null;
private String message=null;
public SMSClient(int mode) {
      this.mode=mode;
public void sendMessage (String recipient, String message){
    this.recipient=recipient;
    this.message=message;
    System.out.println("recipient: " + recipient + " message: " + message);
}

Include JSP in JSP - Error: cannot be resolved to a type

Hello,
Several of my jsp pages include other jsp pages. The project has many errors: "x cannot be resolved to a type". Is there a way to resolve these errors? Below is a small example of the issue:
JSP #1:
<%@ page import="com.testing.Introduction" %>
<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
     Introduction intro = new Introduction();
     String speak = intro.sayHello();
%>
<p><%=speak %></p>
<%@ include file="Name.jsp" %>
</body>
</html> JSP #2:
<html>
<head>
<title>Name</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
     String speak2 = intro.sayName();
%>
<p>
<%=speak2 %>
</p>
</body>
</html>Class:
package com.testing;
public class Introduction
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     public Introduction() {
          super();
     public String sayHello() {
          return "Hello";
     public String sayName()     {
          return "My name is Sam";
}The error shows up in Name.jsp; the issue is with "intro". Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!

The jsp page Name.jsp appears to be missing the import statement that appears in the first page.
<%@ page import="com.testing.Introduction" %>The included file is included character for character into the main page which is then treated as a single jsp page for the response. The include directive is invoked at the time of page translation. Given this, I don't see the purpose of using the <html> <head> and <title> tags in the second and included page. I don't think that this suggests the proper purpose of the include directive.
Note too that if the included file changes, all of the jsp files that call this file need to be updated as well. Servers can handle the alteration of the main jsp, but may not serve the altered content if the included file changes.
For more information see here. http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/JSPIntro8.html

I am getting this error - JspFormsSession cannot be resolved to a type

Hi
I am getting following error when I try to open a jsp file.
Any solution?
JSP line details are -
JspFormsSession openrules_session = (JspFormsSession) session.getAttribute(s_attr);
Error is -

     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)

Now I am confident that the problem is with library including, as the same thing happens with other libraries.
I found that such a warning appears every time:
Classpath entry /jspbook/src/lib/mail.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.Unfortunately, I've no idea how to include this in a proper way. I think that setting it in "Add External JARs" in "Java Build Path" is enough... or not?
Seems we're close to solve the problem. May be this screen shot will be helpful to determine the problem?

Can't use classes in own package ... cannot be resolved into a type

I am fairly new to java and I am having the following problem.
i have a folder structure that goes as follows:
cs/uwm/client/io
and in this directory I have 3 files: ConsoleReader.java ConsoleWriter.java and ConsoleManager.java
and at the top of all three I have the following:
package cs.uwm.client.io;
ConsoleReader and ConsoleWriter are compiling fine
However in ConsoleManager I am using these classes ConsoleReader/Writer and It compile fine for me on a windows JDK in cywin, but when I try this on a Fedore6 system with an Eclipe Java Compiler v_686_R32x, 3.2.2 release I have the following error:
ConsoleWriter cannot be resolved into a type
when I try the following line: ConsoleReader reader = new ConsoleReader( System.in );
I tried importing cs.uwm.client.io but that didnt' work. I couldn't find anything on the forums here if you are trying to use a class defined in your package inside your package the way I am.
Any help would be great!

So it compiles from a commandline invocation of Java, but not from within Eclipse?
Sounds like you need to ask the question at an Eclipse site, since the problem is not a Java problem - and this forum is for Java language questions, not IDE support questions.
Probably caused by the fact that Eclipse doesn't use Sun's Java compiler.

Some class that cannot be resolved to a type

Hello, I?m trying to use the[b] itext API for PDF creating from Java.
In order to do this you must include the package .jar in your classpath and import com.logawie.text.* in your java file. All this steps are obviusly, and work correctly, in JAVA, but i?m trying to develope a web application, using JSP.
Usually when I try to import a package from a JAR file that are allocated in the C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\lib directory it doesn?t work. I solved this problem with some classes including it directly to the src.zip file. But with the itext package it doesn?t work, I don?t know if my solution is too bad, but with another classes it works, but with the itext package it says that all classes references "cannot be resolved to a type".
Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.

when i try to depooy it then error comes

What does "cannot be resolved to a type" mean?

This error message is generated in Eclipse and I don't know what it means. I guess it might have multiple interpretations. Could you please comment this error message ?

Thanking you in advance.

1) you don't want to do that in a JSP
2) did you actually add the correct jars to the classpath of your web application? Because if you did, you'd not get this error.
That means adding it to the proper location in your WAR file, as you should have learned when you studied tutorials and books about web application development.
