why not?

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) pageContext.getRequest();
request.setAttribute("page",rs.getString("count"));
String temp=request.getParameter("page");

Well the reason why i ask this question is because this is user class that holds a user name, user login, and user password,

so when i get the info to add a new user from the submitted form, in my servlet i just create a user object to input the user info from the form and then store the user object i just created into a session variable.

but my problem is that get an compile error message when i create a new user object in my doGet() method

here is my error:

AddStudent.java:32: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class User
location: class webapp.AddUser
User one = new User();
^
AddStudent.java:32: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class User
location: class webapp.AddUser
User one = new User();
^
2 errors


any would help if my error would be awesome, thank

In what package is the User class located? And have you imported it.
