Why can't tomcat find my bean classes?

Sat, 20 Mar 2004 14:31:27 -0800

I'm running jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18 on OSX.

I've got a trivial little JSP file:

<jsp:useBean id="doubler" class="DoublerBean" scope="page">
   <jsp:setProperty name="doubler" property="in" value="wugga"/>
</jsp:useBean>
<html>
<body>
It looks like &quot;<jsp:getProperty name="doubler"
property="out"/>&quot;
</body>
</html>

and my DoublerBean.java file is pretty simple too:

public class DoublerBean
{
     private String phrase;

     public DoublerBean ()
     {
         // empty
     }

     public void setIn (String phrase)
     {
         this.phrase = phrase;
     }

     public String getOut ()
     {
         return (phrase + ", " + phrase);
     }
}

When I run ant, I get a build/WEB-INF/classes/DoublerBean.class file,
but my jsp application can't seem to find the DoublerBean class.  When
I reload my app through the manager and run it, I get:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /foo.jsp

Generated servlet error:
     [javac] Compiling 1 source file

/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18/work/Catalina/localhost/SquawkLog/org/
apache/jsp/foo_jsp.java:40: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class DoublerBean
location: class org.apache.jsp.foo_jsp
       DoublerBean doubler = null;
       ^

and a few more similar errors complaining that it can't resolve
DoublerBean.  Other JSP pages I wrote were able to find their required
classes in the same location.  What's different about finding bean
classes?
