How to reference another Java class from JSP?

[firblazer]

Hi!

I have some code in databaseAccess.java file and I want to reference it by calling it from a jsp file.

In my jsp file, I have:

<&#37;
databaseAccess db = new databaseAccess();
db.query("SELECT....");
%>

But it gives me a HTTP 500 error report. It says: cannot find symbol
symbol : class databaseAccess

Do I need to "reference" the databaseAccess.java in my jsp file? How should I do it?

Thanks.

Just like regular Java, you'll need to import a class or package you want to include in your code.

Like so:

<&#37;@ page import="java.text.*, java.util.*" %>
