**** I am using Tomcat 6.0.18 with JDK 1.5.0_17 on CentOS 5. I am getting a
compiling error on the following code in a jsp page that uses an inner
class. I remember I used to be able to do this with a different container
(implementing JSP 1.2 and JDK 1.4).
<%!
private class Test {
String name = null;
public Test(String n) {
this.name = n;
}
String getName() {
return this.name;
}
}
static Test test = new Test("foobar");
%>
<%= test.getName() %>
**** With Tomcat, I am getting the following error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:
An error occurred at line: 15 in the jsp file: /test.jsp
No enclosing instance of type test_jsp is accessible. Must qualify the
allocation with an enclosing instance of type test_jsp (e.g. x.new A() where
x is an instance of test_jsp).
12: }
13: }
14:
15: static Test test = new Test("foobar");
16: %>
17:
18: <%= test.getName() %>
**** Changing the code as following worked:
static Test test = new test_jsp().new Test("foobar");
**** My questions: I suppose this is a change from jdk 1.4 to 1.5? Doesn't
this make the JSP page container dependent? I think that the naming
convention of a JSP page's class is implementation specific.
Having an inner class in a JSP page sometimes is pretty convenient for
organizing some light data used in the page, such as menu text. Is there
another alternative other than having a regular class?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
