Help. Absolutely stuck. Tomcat cannot find my bean classes no matter what
when called from jsp pages. From within servlets no problem.
Here is the jsp
---------------
<%@ include file="pub_hdr.html" %>
<jsp:usebean id="FormBean" class="beans.FormBean" scope="request" />
<form>
<input type="text" name="userName" value="<% =FormBean.getUserName() %>">
<%= FormBean.getErrorMsg("userName") %>
</form>
<%@ include file="pub_ftr.html" %>
Here is the bean
----------------
package beans;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class FormBean implements Serializable {
public String userName;
public FormBean() {}
public String getUserName() {
return this.userName;
}
public void setUserName(String uname) {
this.userName = uname;
}
}
NO MATTER WHAT, as soon as I access the jsp page. This error comes up.
Generated servlet error: C:\jwsdp-1_0\work\Standard
Engine\localhost\messagesmith\en\users$jsp.java:126: Undefined variable or
class name: FormBean out.print( FormBean.getUserName() );
It certainly seems that TC cannot find the FormBean class which lives here:
C:\jwsdp-1_0\webapps\project\WEB-INF\classes\beans.
I've changed that scope attribute to application or page, but it doesn't
change.
With TC3.x I had to do some configuration in the conf/server.xml file, but
this doesn't seem necessary w/ TC4. All the same I've adding the following
context to the server.xml, but it doesn't help.
<Context path="/project"
docBase="webapps/project"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" />
Anyone have any ideas? It is killing me. Again, I can instantiate the
FormBean class from within servlets, but not from JSP.
