No, that's not correct. The rule is that JAR files go in the
WEB-INF/lib directory, class files that are not in a JAR file
go in the WEB-INF/classes directory. This a rule defined by the
Servlet specification.
The fact that class files must be stored in a directory structure
that mirrors the package name structure is a general Java class
loader rule. It applies both to how class files are organized
within a JAR file and to how they are organized in a file system.
So, class in the default package always go in the top directory,
in the JAR file or in the file system. A class in package a.b.c goes
in the directory a/b/c, in the JAR file or in the file system.

in a package to be found") can be found here:
