I hate to sound stupid but I'm having trouble with this. I created a public class named InitPts in a file named InitPts.java and compiled it to InitPts.class. All these files reside in WEB-INF/classes. In my main servlet I want to call InitPts but I always get a compile error saying not found. I've tried "import InitPts" but it complains about missing a period. I've tried putting inside my servlet the line "InitPts();" but it says class not found. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong...I know it's something simple that I'm missing/not understanding. Thank you very much, Kenny
