Tomcat has its own classloader that will load any .class file under <your_webapp>/WEB-INF/classes and any .jar file under <your_webapp>/WEB-INF/lib in to the classpath of <your_webapp>. To include your classes in the sample application, either put your .class files into slide/WEB-INF/classes or build a jar and put it in slide/WEB-INF/lib.
