Hi

Just working through the Web Development tutorial and have encountered a problem (Not sure if this is the correct forum for this) :

When declaring <%@ page import=”com.david1.test.HelloWorld” %> in the helloWorld.jsp I get the error ‘The import com.david1.test.HelloWorld conflicts with a type defined in the same file (in file: com.david1.test.HelloWorld)’.

I have create the com.david1.test package under a src dircetory as follows:

package com.david1.test;

/public class HelloWorld {
public String helloWorld(){
return “Hello World”;
}
}

This is in the same project as the jsp.

Any ideas why this might occur?
Thanks in advance.

David,
This is most likely occuring because the name of the class “HelloWorld” is conflicting with your JSP page’s name “HelloWorld.jsp” that will get compiled to a similarly named file. This is currently a bug we have filed and are tracking; sorry for the inconvenience.

Is this problem fixed yet?

I tested this in 4.0 Milestone 2 with Eclipse 3.1, and while we didn’t do anything yet to explicitly fix this, it seems to be working fine.
