Class Call Failure

My call to a class does nothing! (I'm trying to write rows to a table.) My environment is...

- Start Tomcat
- Start browser and invoke index.jsp
- Click on link taking me to Application_EnterEdit.html
- Call to java class populates table (what doesn't work)

Here's the top of Application_EnterEdit.html...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<%@ page import="gov.vha.hvm.deliveryservice.scs.jsp.Subscriptioncalls" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.Writer" %>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>

In Application_EnterEdit.html, here's my call to the java class...

<table id="appList" class="sortable" cellspacing="10">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<% Subscriptioncalls.tblLoadApps(out); %> <--- right here
</tbody>
</table>

Here's my class...

package gov.vha.hvm.deliveryservice.scs.jsp;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Writer;

public class Subscriptioncalls {

public static void tblLoadApps(Writer out){
try {
out.write("<tr><td>abc</td><td>def</td></tr>\n");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

What am I doing wrong? Why aren't rows added to table?

I'll change from html to jsp.

Whether that fixes the problem or not, that makes sense... I take it you can't shell out to a java class from a html. Right?

Thx, LJA

Right. html files are not compiled into servlets. jsp files are

Now, I'm getting the following error message? Any ideas?

Figured it out. Here's the error...

javax.servlet.ServletException: org/apache/jsp/Index_jsp (wrong name: org/apache/jsp/index_jsp)

I noticed the different case of the name... Index vs index. So, I stopped server, browser, and deleted all files in C:\Tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost\SCS\org\apache\jsp. When I restarted, everything worked.
