title: how to reference a java .class file from a JSP page?
body: <p>I have the JSP file (/page.jsp) in the root of my app directory.  I want to use this class located in  /WEB-INF/classes/Helper.class.</p>
  
  <p>I tried using the JSP page import statment with the class name but that didn't work.  How can I reference Helper.class so that I can use it my JSP?  I don't want to include the class in a package/JAR.</p>
