In my case  I was using the 6 0 24 Tomcat version  with JDK 1 8  and resolved the problem by upgrading to the 6 0 37 version  Also  if you install the new tomcat version in a different folder  do not forget to copy your previous version  conf folder to the new installation folder

From the error it seems that you are trying to import something which is not a class   If your MyFunctions is a class  you should import it like this    lt   page import  com TransportPortal MyFunctions   gt    If it is a package and you want to import everything in the package you should do like this    lt   page import  com TransportPortal MyFunctions      gt    Edit   There are two cases which will give you this error  edited to cover both

It may be related to Java JRE version   In my case I need Tomcat 6 0 26 which presented same error with JRE 1 8 0 91  A downgrade to JRE 1 7 49 solved it   You might find more information in  http   www howopensource com 2015 07 unable-to-compile-class-for-jsp-the-type-java-util-mapentry-cannot-be-resolved
