Problem could be that the class you are creating is of the same name as the packages that get included as part of API ..that's what comes to my mind

I know why packages are for. But why is it necessary to create packages to keep our ActionForm classes, Action classes. Name collision is the problem which the development team has to tackle. What if the development team decides to name classes starting with their Employee ID, probability of name collision decreases considerably. Is it strictly enforced by Struts to use packages. I dont think Java 1.5 specification speficies it explicitely to compulsarily use packages. Any pointers, Andre. Doesn't the compiler create a default package. regards, vijay.
