This is my Food.Java

package sg.edu.nyp;

import java.io.Serializable;

/**
 *
 * @author VN7-517G-73XW
 */
public class Food implements Serializable{
    public static final long serialVersionUID = -1L;
    private String itemName;
    private double price;
    private String restaurant;

 public Food()
    {
    }

    public String getItemName() {
        return itemName;
    }

    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public String getRestaurant() {
        return restaurant;
    }

    public void setItemName(String itemName) {
        this.itemName = itemName;
    }

    public void setPrice(double price) {
        this.price = price;
    }

    public void setRestaurant(String restaurant) {
        this.restaurant = restaurant;
    }

}

You must add import to your JSP file

enter relevant package name instead of [package]

<%@ page import="sg.edu.nyp.Food " %>

and make sure Food class exists in context.

If use tomcat should be in WEB-INF/classes/sg/edu/nyp/Food.class or WEB-INF/lib inside jar under /sg/edu/nyp/Food.class
