title: "cannot be resolved to a type" TOMCAT - JSP
body: <p>I have built a web application using JSP and Tomcat server. It works just fine on localohost.
  I have then deployed it on another server and when trying to run it i get following error messsage.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP: 
  
  An error occurred at line: 221 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
  "SearchFiles" cannot be resolved to a type
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That happens with every class located in a subfolder.
  As I have searched through the internet, that is a common bug, but I haven't found any solution.</p>
  
  <p>I have to mention that the local Tomcat's version is 7, while the remote servers' version is 6, that could be the cause of the problem probably.. The fact is that I do not have the rights to update it.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried to make some changes in the server.xml and ROOT.xml files of tomcat, but it didn't work as well.</p>
  
  <p>Please provide some help, it's the last thing I need to finish my Thesis!!</p>
