Cannot be resolved to type?

Question

I'm new to Java. So I have a java class titled "Banks" and I'm trying to write code in a JSP.....

This is what I have so far, but I don't want to keep going because of the errors. "Banks" is underlined and when I hover over it it says "Banks cannot be resolved to a type". What does that mean? I searched and it said that types should be capitalized and I did that but the error is still there.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
; 
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<% 
    Banks b = new Banks(); //stuff goes in here 
    List<Accounts> accounts = bank.getAccounts();
%>
</table>
</body>
</html>

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> Insert title here <% Banks b = new Banks(); //stuff goes in here List accounts = bank.getAccounts(); %> — deezy, Jul 11 '16 at 02:05
Furthermore, this approach ("scriptlets") is considered bad design; an MVC approach where logic is done in a separate class and the JSP only sees the results for rendering is better. — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-, Jul 11 '16 at 02:13
@PM77-1 that may be why... This is my first time doing this kind of code so I don't really know.. "import test.jsp.Banks" is how I would do it correct? i named my package "test.jsp" and my class "Banks" — deezy, Jul 11 '16 at 02:24
There are countless MVC tutorials found with a quick google search — user1231232141214124, Jul 11 '16 at 02:31
There are lots of resources available. My personal recommendation is Spring MVC, and I use Thymeleaf instead of JSP (similar, but more flexible in terms of testing and such ). — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-, Jul 11 '16 at 02:32

I think you are looking for: This is how you import in some cases.

<%@ page  import = "com.sample.Bank" %>

Put is just before the doc type. If this doesn't work search import JSP or import JSF or whatever technology seems right.
