Some people like to keep the source Java files at a separate location,
and then have Ant copy them over to the classes directory, but mixing
the class and java files in the same folder works too.
Personally, when using a package hierarchy for my classes, I tend to
just name things
.\logon\Form.java
But, yes you should either put your packages class files below the
classes directory, or in a JAR in the lib folder. For development at
least, you probably just want to put them under classes.
We put these under the WEB-INF folder so that they cannot be directly
accessed by a client program (e.g. Web browser), only by the
application.
