i am getting lots of error like this for all form inputs. i am trying to use javabeans and jsp where a jsp will be responsible for outputting the final information (cost of booking and bookingreference). The servlet needs to pass control to this JSP. this is the error which is repeated

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

your jsp is looking for a class BookingBean, which it can not find. it may not have been compiled, it may not exist, or it's not on your path.

it does exit and i am using netbeans and it is correctly declared with correct spelling and is in the same web application folder as the jsp.
