title: Unable to import json simple's .jar file into JSP file
body: <p>I have copied the <code>json-simple-1.1.1.jar</code> into the <code>WEB-INF/lib</code> folder. In <code>index.jsp</code>, I am writing: 
  <code>&lt;%@ page import="org.json.simple.parse.JSONParser" %&gt;</code>. </p>
  
  <p>But this gives me the error:</p>
  
  <pre>
  An error occurred at line: 17 in the generated java file
  Only a type can be imported. org.json.simple.parse.JSONParser resolves to a package
  </pre>
  
  <p>I have seen other questions with this error but they all point to pasting the jar file into the right folder. I've already done that. What am I missing? Is there something I need to write in the Catalina host config by any chance? The virtual host for this in <code>server.xml</code> is:</p>
  
  <pre>
  &lt;Host name="test-jsp.dev" appBase="/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/test-jsp.dev"&gt;&lt;/Host&gt;
  </pre>
  
  <p>Maybe an XML attribute I'm not setting?</p>
  
  <p>I have already restarted the server. Also double checked that the group/owner of the jar file is <code>root</code>, because that's the way it is in the <code>webapps/ROOT</code> folder.</p>
