You should probably put CartItem in a package. When you say "import CartItem", the class file generated by the automated JSP compile is going to look for CartItem.class in the same package as it is in which isn't the case. The default package won't work unless the class you are using is one that you are directly running. Importing classes from the default package will not work unless both the class and the imports all exist in the default package. This is almost never the case. Just avoid the default package if you can.
So, add something like the following in CartItem.... package org.atif.cart.CartItem; put CartItem.class into WEB-INF/classes/org/atif/cart/ finally, import org.atif.cart.CartItem in your JSP That should get things going.
