I have refactored all javax.servlet packages to jakarta.servlet but I am still getting the compilation error

An exception has occurred in the compiler (17.0.8). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (https://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (https://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program, the following diagnostic, and the parameters passed to the Java compiler in your report. Thank you. com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext not found
