Can't import Java Class inside JSP

Question

This is my project's structure in NetBeans

Project's Structure

I am trying to import the User.java file like that

<%@page import="User"%>

so then i can use it like that

<%
User user = (User) session.getAttribute("currentUser");
if (user == null) {
    response.sendRedirect("login_page.jsp");
}   
%>

This file is inside src folder but without a package name. I tried to use import="package.User" but that doesn't seem to work either.

Does anybody knows what is wrong with my structure? Thank you.

You can't import classes from the default package. You'll have to put your classes in packages and import them with their fully qualified name: packagename.classname
