I'm surprised with this email because I 'm running tomcat 4.01 and I have placed my java classes inside
Tomcat/jak/server/classes I import them the way you describe and it seems to work alright. Furthermore there are 2 directories call web-inf One in Tomcat/jak/webapps/root/web-inf And the other in Tomcat/jak/webapps/examples/web-inf panos -----Original Message----- From: Hans Bergsten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 February 2002 18:26 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to call a user defined method from a JSP [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The specifics may vary from server to server, but in general you can > you place the class anywhere.

All JSP 1.0 (and later) compliant servers look for class files in two very well defined places: the WEB-INF/classes and the WEB-INF/lib directories for the application. The first is for class files and the second for class files packaged in JAR files. In addition, some containers let you place class files and JAR files in container-specific directories, but the two WEB-INF dirctories are *always* used and should be your first choice. > Also, remember to import your class in your > JSP. > <%@ page import="DBConnection" %> This is true, and the reason for why you need to import a class that is not declared to be in a package (i.e. that is part of the unnamed default package) is described in more detail here: <http://java.oreilly.com/news/jsptips_1100.html> Hans > Hope this helps. > ~ Elena. > --------------------------- > Elena Tsifrina > SYSCOM, Inc. > www.syscom.com > > > > > "Chauviaux, Patrick" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > NISYS.COM> cc: > Sent by: A mailing list Subject: Re: How to call a user defined method from a > about Java Server Pages JSP > specification and > reference > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > COM> > > > 02/27/02 10:11 AM > Please respond to A > mailing list about Java > Server Pages > specification and > reference > > > > > > > In fact, what I want to know is where do I have to put the > DBConnection.class or do you have to change the classpath?
