Hello everyone,
I've developed this java class

public class Counter
{
public static int counter;
public static int getCounter()
{
counter++;
return counter;
}
}

and the Jsp file is

<html>
<body>
The page is 
<% out.println(Counter.getCounter());
%>

</body>
</html>

jsp file is stored in the ROOT folder and counter.java is stored in WEB-INF/classes folder
Now when i try to run the jsp file via http://localhost/Count.jsp it gives me the following error:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

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

3: The page is

5: %>

Have you imported Counter class at the jsp ?
