I believe that you have to package your class ie boots.PVDatabase as I recall unpackaged classes are not valid John

Hi All, I am new to Tomcat so I would really appreciate if somebody could help me in this. I have Tomcat 4.1.29 installed on my windows 2000 machine. At the same level as examples is in Tomcat path, I've created a directory called boots(this is my application directory.) and have a index.jsp under boots and a class called PVDatabase.class under C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\boots\WEB-INF\classes directory where C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1 is my CATALINA_HOME variable. I have modified server.xml to include the context boots there. When I try to call this class from my index.jsp it gives me the following error. org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /index.jsp Generated servlet error: [javac] Compiling 1 source file C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\boots\index_jsp.java:44: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class PVDatabase location: class org.apache.jsp.index_jsp PVDatabase PV1 = null; ^ An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /index.jsp Generated servlet error: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\boots\index_jsp.java:46: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class PVDatabase location: class org.apache.jsp.index_jsp PV1 = (PVDatabase) pageContext.getAttribute("PV1", PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE); ^ An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /index.jsp Generated servlet error: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\boots\index_jsp.java:49: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class PVDatabase location: class org.apache.jsp.index_jsp PV1 = (PVDatabase) java.beans.Beans.instantiate(this.getClass().getClassLoader(), "PVDatabase"); ^ 3 errors at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHa ndler.java:130) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.ja va:293) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:353) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:370) at org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.ja va:473) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.ja va:190) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:295) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Applica tionFilterChain.java:247) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilt erChain.java:193) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValv e.java:256) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.i nvokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:4 80) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValv e.java:191) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.i nvokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:4 80) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.invoke(StandardContext.java:241 7) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java :180) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.i nvokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorDispatcherValve.invoke(ErrorDispatcherVa lve.java:171) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.i nvokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java :172) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.i nvokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:4 80) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve. java:174) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.i nvokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:4 80) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:193) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:78 1) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processC onnection(Http11Protocol.java:549) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:58 9) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool .java:666) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) I am not really sure as what am I missing here in configuration.
