Re: JSP Beans

The standard, when you are using a class that was not written by you and was delivered to you in a jar file (such as the org.apache classes), is to keep them jarred and place them in the WEB-INF/lib directory.  All classes written by you, for your project should be kept in the proper package directory structure under the WEB-INF/classes directory.     (*Chris*) ----- Original Message ----- From: Chen, Gin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 9:24 AM Subject: Re: [JSP-INTEREST] JSP Beans This is kind of a funny issue. If you do not have a package for a particular class, you have to add the class file to the lib directory of WEB-INF (create one if you dont have one). If it does have a package, then it is safe to put into the classes directory. You do not have to jar it up first. IMHO, You should follow standards and put all classes into a logical package. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Chris Pratt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: JSP Beans Make sure that the jar file containing the org.apache.jsp.printCalendar is either on the CLASSPATH of the Servlet Container, or in your WEB-INF/lib directory.     (*Chris*) ----- Original Message ----- From: Purav To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:09 AM Subject: [JSP-INTEREST] JSP Beans Hello ,   I am using Tomcat 4 and I have placed all my bean classes in the web-inf/classes directory. However when I use them in my JSP as beans , the following error is thrown   D:\Tomcat\work\localhost\pim\calendar$jsp.java:464: Class org.apache.jsp.printCalendar not found.   If I place the printCalendar in a package, and then use it , it works.. Why such a behaviour. I guess the classes directory is implicitly included in the classpath at startup   Please help Purav
