Static filed reference BUG since( Tomcat 4b2-b5)

2001-05-17 Thread Andrew 




 Hi, every time I try to 
reference static field(from jsp page)in nonpackaged class I've got jasper 
error:
Undefined variable or class name: Myclass, but I've put that in 
\WEB-INF\classes dir of my app and Tomcat4b1 process my page without any 
errors.

What could be 
wrong?

Just a thought - have you imported that class?  You need to remember
that all generated classes are placed into a package corresponding to their
location in the webapp (prefixed by jsp, I believe), so classes that aren't
in any package aren't in the same package as the JSP file.  I believe that
if you import the class (and I think you'll have to do each separate class
explicitly) this should solve your problem.

There is a difference between adding to the classpath and importing.
The class path helps the JVM find the .class file for a particular class.
The import statements allow a developer to use the short class-only name
(i.e. Vector) instead of the fully qualified class name (i.e.
java.util.Vector).  These are two entirely different concepts and one really
has not bearing on the other.

 Thanks a lot, it works! But I was thinking that tomcat 
 4b1 import(add to
 classpath) all the classes for every .JSP from WEB-INF\classes.
 Is it reasonable(why WEB-INF\classpath dir)?
