How to use a Java class in JSP scriptlet? Error says the class cannot be resolved to a type
I have written a sample JSP file in Eclipse and a Java file and was trying to call the Java class inside my JSP but it is not working. The code of the JAVA file is as follows:
TestJava.jva
public class TestJava {
public void test(String msg)
{
System.out.println("My name is "+msg);
}
}
The Javafile is located at src folder. My JSP file test.jsp is as follows:
test.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>My First JSP with JAVA</title>
</head>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="link" scope="application" class = "TestJava" />
<% TestJava t=new TestJava();
t.test("Joy");
%>
</body>
</html>
It is giving error as "TestJava cannot be resolved to a type". I have studied other related posts in Stack Overflow but those approaches also did not work. Being new to JSP I cannot understand how to fix that error. So I am asking if anyone can help me to fix that problem.
Thank you.

In order to use class objects in java, you need to import classes first.
Pretty much the same with scriplets in jsp, here you import it via <%@ page %> scriplet tags.
<%@ page import="your.class*" %>
