Writing JSP in kotlin with maven - Error instantiating servlet class, ClassNotFoundException - maven

Question

so I've been trying out JSP for some time now, and I want to use it with kotlin and maven, I'm having some problems,
It throws ClassNotFoundException, here is my files:
web.xml

<servlet-name>Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.erezbiox1.Servlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>

Is it even possible? both jsp, kotlin and maven?
Thanks!

Answer 1

The classes in your project are in the resources folder.
This is not where they should be - this folder is used only for resources.
Create a new folder, mark it as source root, and use that folder instead.
