I don't believe that the Java compilers import the classes from the
default package (no package specified) when the class isn't in the default
package itself. Tomcat automatically puts all its generated classes into
packages as determined by your directory structure so that you can have
files with the same name in different directories. What you need to do is
to either import * (all in the default package) or import DBWriter (the
class specifically).

as I told earlier the class I am using is not residing in any package, while
tomcat is trying to find it in jsp.dates package.
How do I get around this problem ? Is this a bug since I see similar kinds
of problems reported on the mailing list archieve
your help is appriciated,
Mandar
