At least in my case these JSP's compile and run without any problems at all except for in the case where the included file changes and the parent document does not. Actually if you look in the output directory you will see that the servelet for the parent jsp was generated and compiled with the included page, but the included page is process separately as well causing the error. If I try to run the page again it works correctly.

All jsp's are now part of the package org.apache.jsp. If one needs to reference beans that are in the default package (ie no package), you need to import each of the bean classes explicitly. >From: Leonard Crowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: 'Tomcat Users List' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: JSP compile fails to find class >Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 13:57:37 -0500 > >Steve, > >Is the jsp that your having problems compiling an include for another jsp >page (By that I mean "<%@ include file="???.jsp" %>)?
