My JSP can't find a class file

Hi
I am trying to view a JSP but I get ClassNotFoundException. I know that it means that it can't find the class but I can't understand why.
my directory structure:
Intranet->source
->jsp
->WEB-INF->classes->source-><class file here>
first line of .java file:
package source;
JSP code:
<%@page import="java.sql.*, source.*, java.util.*;" %>
<jsp:useBean id="dbConnect" scope="session" class="source.DBConnect">
<jsp:getProperty name="dbConnect" property="jdbc:odbc:Auto_Intranet" />
</jsp:useBean>
Must I create an environment variable for 'Windows': with classpath " .....\WEB-INF\classes"
The Windows environment variable doesn't exist----using XP Pro

Looks right to me.
You don't need a classpath variable. Web containers ignore it anyway.
Which class is not found? source.DBConnect?
Is DBConnect in a package called source?
Is your database driver in the web-inf/lib directory?
Please post the full error message with stack trace - it will be easier to sort out.
Good luck,

JSP can't find bean class!!!!!

First of all, I'm using jdk1.4 beta and Jakarta's tomcat version 4.0.1 release build.
Hello. I desparately need help. I have a JavaBean class ("CarBean.class") saved in %catalina_home%\webapps\root\myapp\web-inf\classes\com\wrox\cars\CarBean.class
I also have a jsp page saved as carpage.jsp in %catalina_home%\webapps\root\myapp\
So when I point my browser to http://localhost:8080/myapp/carpage.jsp, I get an internal server error. It appears it can't find the JavaBean class for some reason. I'm pretty sure I have my envionment variables set up right. I can get it to work, if I save the JavaBean class in c:\jdk1.4\jre\class\com\wrox\cars
Here's my JavaBean class source file:
package com.wrox.cars;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class CarBean implements Serializable {
public CarBean() {
private String make = "Ford";
public String getMake() {
return make;
public void setMake(String make) {
this.make = make;
and here's my jsp page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Using a JavaBean</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Using a JavaBean</h2>
<% com.wrox.cars.CarBean myCar = new com.wrox.cars.CarBean(); %>
I own a <%= myCar.getMake() %>
<% myCar.setMake("Ferrari"); %>
Now I own a <%= myCar.getMake() %>
</body>
</html>
This is the only thing I've modified in the server.xml file:
<Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
I'm not new to java, just JSP. I just don't know why I can't get the jsp to locate the JavaBean class. I remember I used to have an older version of Tomcat and I recall not having any problems. It seems the Tomcat 4.XX is somewhat significantly different than previous versions. Perhaps I configured my Tomcat or server.xml wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I was wondering if you found a solution. The error I get is listed below. I have my jsp file at ../webapps/ROOT/myapp/web and my bean file located at ../webapps/ROOT/myapp//src.
Any help will be highly appreciated

JSP can't find class file

I created a package for my JSP and import it to be used in a JSP. It works great a couple of times, but for some reason, it displays an error message saying it can't find the class in import. Can anyone explain that? Thanks.

This may be a classpath issue. Is it possible that you have changed your classpath
and restarted your web server? If you are
using a web server that lets you specify the
classpath in some properties file (i.e.,
wrapper.classpath) is is possible that that
has changed?

Java server page compiler can not find a class defined in a java bean file

I have a jsp file using java bean. The java bean class file is uploaded into the server and also the directory to this java bean .class file is included in the Unix environment CLASSPATH. This .jsp file is registered and should be compiled and excecuted automatically.
WHen I try to invoke this .jsp file, the jsp compiler error, saying the class defined by java bean can not be found. I already include this path in teh CLASSPATH, I thought the jsp compiler will go to the right place according to CLASSPATH to find the referenced class.
Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong or what should I do in order to allow jsp compiler to find the class refrenced by .jsp file and defined by java bean file?
Thank you so much

hello friends,
i am also facing the same problem of not finding bean class files for both jsp and servlet though it is placed in same package. the problem of not finding bean class file for jsp is experienced in Tomcat server only whereas in Blazix, there is no such error and the file is compiled and runs successfully.
i have checked Tomcat properly. there is no error in its configuration also servlets without the use of bean files run successfully. so please can anybody guide me about what is the problem and how to solve it. plz its urgent .

Package can't find other classes in package

Code Snippets:
**++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
package fordsec;
// Imports
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
public class AdminUsers {
public int createSingleUser() throws SQLException {
Connection tmpconn = null;
int cnt = 0;
try {
OraConn myconn = new OraConn();
**+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Javac error
oracle@eccis72-LOGMON-> javac AdminUsers.java
AdminUsers.java:107: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class OraConn
location: class fordsec.AdminUsers
OraConn myconn = new OraConn();
OraConn is in the package directory,
OraConn is a member of the package,
OraConn compiles ok,
OraConn as a default () constructor
It appears the AdminUsers Class is not importing the package and making the members available to this class.
Any Ideas (I hope this is simple)

When calling javac, you can pass it the exact diretctory and filename of class AdminUsers. But still it will not try and locate another class of the same package in that same directory, if it's not on the classpath - even if that class is assumed to be in the same package.
That means, the "base directory" should be included in the environment variable CLASSPATH or - if you use the -cp Option on the command prompt that starts javac, you should include it there.
In your case, this base directory would be the one containing the directory fordsec (which has the name of the package). Javac will find class OraConn in the fordsec subdirectory of ANY base directory listed in the classpath - it will merrily accept the first one (according to the sequence of directorynames in the classpath) that happens to contain a fordsec which contains an OraConn.
If it finds just the sourcefile OraConn.java, it will compile it first in order to produce OraConn.class in the directory where it found OraConn.java. If it already finds some OraConn.class anywhere on the classpath, it will not look for an OraConn.java; the compiler always verifies the existence of a referenced type by finding its .class file along the classpath (so if it cannot find or produce OraConn.class it cannot successfully compile AdminUsers either).

Tomcat can't locate my class files

did you create the Searcher class? if so stick it in a package and put it under your web-inf directory. then use an <%@ page import="" %> statement to import the code.
if you didn't create the class is it in some jar library you downloaded? if so stick the jar file in your web-inf/lib folder.

Cannot find the class file

Hi All,
Can any one help me regarding the issue?
Error:
package com.support.misc.feedback
I am getting the following error for the above line. But I have created the Hierarchy in folder structure. But still it is throwing the error.
1. Cannot find the class file for com.sapportals.htmlb.page.DynPage
2. This compilation unit indirectly references the missing type com.sapportals.htmlb.page.DynPage (typically some required class file is referencing a type outside the class path) FeedbackBean.java
Thanks in Advance.
Message was edited by: Gowsika Kannan

Hi Gowsika,
the class needed is located in htmlb.jar which can be found under <irj-root>/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.htmlb/lib
You need to integrate this jar in your .classpath
Hope this helps,
Robert

Installing 10g on Windows XP machine JVM launcher "Can't find main class"

I am trying to install 10g Release 2 on a Windows XP machine. I downloaded the zip from the OTN. Unzipped the file. No problems. Tried to run the OUI, it opened up a shell and said to wait. The shell closed and a message frome the JVM Launcher displayed "Can't find main class. Program will exit." I have seen several people on this and other discussion boards having this problem, but have yet to get a solution. Please help.

What's the value of CLASSPATH environment variable? Possibly a non-oracle application has set this variable and the installer catches it. If there is such a variable, comment it out and try again.
