Bug of Tomcat 4.1.8?

[Jun Inamori <ju...@oop-reserch.com>]

Hi,

I tried Tomcat 4.1.8, and found some difficulty in using JSP.
When the JSP calls the static method on the class which is not packaged, Tomcat fails to compile it.
For example:
<%
    String hello=Foo.getHello();
%>
will result in the exception, which says "Foo" is not found.
If I move "Foo" to "example.Foo" and import "example" package, there is no problem.

To show you this problem, I wrote some simple JSPs.
One of them calls the static method on the class without package, another on the class with package.
And only the latter one can be compiled.
I attached them to this message.

I'm not sure, but it may be a bug of Tomcat 4.1.8.

Happy Java programming!
