I would give 50-50 odds that either JRun is non-conformant or the
spec is vague or silent on the packages the generated Java files are a part
of. It does make sense though, for Tomcat to do it the way that it does.
You class name is your page name and your directory structure is your
package name. Does JRun munge the directory structure and the page name
together to form the class name, I wonder.

You have solved my problem sir and I thank you! It all makes sense now that
you
have explained it. JRun 3.0, which implements the same servlet spec, didn't
need
the extra qualification. I wonder which one isn't following the spec? :-o
I'm
guessing JRun.
I have a printout of the 2.2 servlet spec right here. I needed to read it
anyway! Thanks again.
