JSP impot class cannot be resolved to a type

This has got to be an easy problem but we cannot seem to figure it out.
I am using Tomcat 6.0.18 and JRE 1.5.09
This is my class:
package hello;
public class hello{
public void run(){
System.out.println("Hello World");
}}This is my JSP:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.* , java.io.* , java.text.*" errorPage="error.jsp"%>
<%@ page import="hello.*" %>
<%
hello h = new hello();
h.run();
%>and this is the error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:
An error occurred at line: 7 in the jsp file: /test.jsp
hello cannot be resolved to a type
4:
5: <%
6:
7: hello h = new hello();
8: h.run();
9:
10: %>
I have the "hello.class" in
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\hello
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\manager\WEB-INF\classes\hello
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\manager\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\manager\WEB-INF
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\host-manager\WEB-INF\classes\hello
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\host-manager\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\host-manager\WEB-INF
Can someone pelase offer a suggestion and please tell me where the CLASS file should actually reside? Please?

Try this code.I hope u wil get the output.
test.jsp
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.* , java.io.* , java.text.*" errorPage="error.jsp"%>

Class 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.

I found the answer:
You must allocate .jar in tomcat\common\lib directory and restart apache tomcat.
I hope it would be usefull to anybody.

Jsp:useBean gives cannot be resolved to a type in Tomcat

Hi, I am using Tomcat 5.5
I have a simple JavaBean for test purposes :
import java.io.Serializable;
    public class testBean implements Serializable {
        int number;
        public testBean() {
        public int getNumber() {
            return number;
        public void setNumber(int newValue) {
            number = newValue;
    }In a file called testBean.java
I have successfuly compiled it and put the class file the WEB-INF/classes directory.
I have the following JSP page :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<jsp:useBean id="pub" scope="session" class="testBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="pub" property="number" value="1" />
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<jsp:getProperty name="pub" property="number" />
</body>
</html>When I open this jsp page I get the following error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /test.jsp
Generated servlet error:
testBean cannot be resolved to a typeThis example is pretty minimal and I don't understand why it doesn't work. The error seems to be coming from the first JSP statement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

1. Put your bean class in a package.
package test;
import...........2. Put the .class file in web-inf/classes/test/testBean.class
3. Specify the fully qualified name of the class in the useBean declaration.
<jsp:useBean class="test.testBean" .../>Note: You'd be better off following the java bean naming conventions. Specifically your class name should be TestBean (first letter caps).

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.

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;

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);
}

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.

UMFactory class cannot be resolved

I am very much new to portal development
Previously I was using NWDS 7.0, in that I was able to build the project just by importing the jar files.
In NWDS 7.1 - simply importing the jars doesnt works. Do I really need to use some different jars in NWDS7.1
Do anyone have any other solution?
Edited by: BhuShaan on May 15, 2009 6:53 AM

As I already mentioned that I am very much new to portal work.
Actually there is an already developed i-view, I just need to do JAVA coding.
Previously we had NWDS 7.0. We have the par file created using 7.0.
Now we are started using NWDS 7.1.
If we import same par file in NWDS 7.0, it will not give me any build error while compilation.
In NWDS 7.1 if I import the same file then it gives me build error saying UMFactory class cannot be resolved.
In NWDS 7.0 com.sap.security.api.jar is inbuilt, but in NWDS 7.1 it is not.
Do I need to externally add it in class path?
Regards,
Bhushan

JspWriter cannot be resolved to a type

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

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 -
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 4 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
Generated servlet error:
JspFormsSession cannot be resolved to a type
An error occurred at line: 4 in the jsp file: /index.jsp

     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?

You can see that libraries are included in the Project Explorer

When i run jsp programs, am getting :

You need to have Oracles JDBC driver available to your web application.
That means the driver (commonly called ojdbc14.jar) should be in either the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web application, or in the [TOMCAT]/lib directory.
However it is generally accepted that Database connections from JSP pages are a bad idea.
Put this logic in java code/beans.
Even better, set up a [JNDI Datasource in Tomcat|http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html] that your web application can access. That way your code can be database independant.
