error while importing .java file in jsp page

I have a .java file containing a public class. It is located under the 'web pages' folder (not under web-inf folder).

On my jsp page I have imported it as: <%@ page import="packagename.javafilename;" %>

When I run jsp file, I get error as:

Unable to compile class for jsp.
Only a type can be imported. Packagename.filename resolves to a package

From your question things are not very clear.

First of all jsp cannot access .java but a .class file i.e. you have to keep your code compiled.

Secondly the class should be in the WEB-INF/classes folder or a jar in WEB-INF/lib folder.

Use this syntax:

<%@ page import="package.filename" %>

In the last import, you might need to add a semicolon after the end of the package.filename. So, if you have like 3 imports, then in the 3rd import line make sure to put a semicolon as:

<%@ page import="package.filename;" %>

One more thing, make sure that the class files are in WEB-INF/classes folder.

As mentioned in the comments there seems to be a missing % towards the end. Here is the way to import classes in jsp

// To import one class
<%@ page import="com.xyz.MyClass" %>

OR

// To import multiple classes from the com.xyz package
<%@ page import="com.xyz.*" %>
