Where should i place the java class file so that it can be used in jsp

Question

I want to use a java class in JSP. I placed the java class file in WEB-INF/classes/hello.class.

In index.jsp i'm creating the object for hello class.

I'm getting this error "hello cannot be resolved to a type". Here is my jsp code,

<%@ page import="hello" %>
<%
    hello h = new hello();
    out.print(h.getValue());
%>

Check your directory structure (i.e) whether you have your class in src package and also see to ur naming conventions . java classes Start with upper case — Santhosh, Jan 10 '14 at 10:58

Hello Java class would be create under package. So while importing in jsp, use the complete path.

<%@ page import="com.abc.Hello" %>
