title: Cannot resolve symbol error during deploying JSP
body: <p>I just learnt basic Servlets and JSP technology and am designing a simple website using it. </p>
  
  <p>The aim of the website is to sell products. The details of the products are stored in the database. I want to retrieve the data from the database and display the dynamic pages. I am using the MVC approach and trying to make it as OO as i can.</p>
  
  <p>I am facing problem with the category page (which is intended to act as an index for the various products...i want to retrieve the categories stored in the DB and display them).</p>
  
  <p>The details are as follows:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I have created a simple java class which represents the table. The table's name is  "Categories" in the DB...This class is named CategoryTable and contains instance fields representing various attributes of the table.</p></li>
  <li><p>A POJO named CategoryRetriever acts as my Model. it inserts the data of a particular row from the table into an object of CategoryTable and finally creates an ArrayList of the various CategoryTable Objects. This ArrayList contains all the retrieved data.</p></li>
  <li><p>The Controller of the Design is a Servlet names CategoryController. it creates and object of the CategoryRetriever and passes this to a JSP named CategoryDisplayer.</p></li>
  <li><p>All the things are getting compiled fine. Except the JSP. After deploying with WEBLOGIC. the jsp gives the following error. </p></li>
  </ol>

  <p>From this what I can infer is that the JSP which is directly under the root project directory cannot find the CategoryTable class which is inside root>>WEB-INF>>source.</p>
  
  <p>Does my JSP require an include statement or something? If yes, how to do it?     </p>
