JSP Import problem - JasperException?

[Price Ellington]

Hi,

I am trying to import a class into my JSP and am getting the following
error at runtime:

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

An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null

Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
[javac] D:\jwsdp-1.2\work\Catalina\localhost\pe\org\apache\jsp\guestbook_jsp.java:7:
'.' expected
[javac] import MessageGetter;


My import statement in the JSP is simply:

<%@ page import="MessageGetter" %>

and I am placing the class in the WEB-INF/classes directory. This is
stumping me - if you've come across this or a similar problem, please
let me know. Thanks.

Have you tried the fully qualified name? Do you have subdirs according
to the package structure?

For JSP, all classes have to be in named packages to be
importable.
