I would think you would use the standard dot syntax because they are just compiled classes. What are you using for your web container?

Hi everyone. Was wondering if anyone knows whether you should use a '/' or a '.' as the package separator in classes specified in web.xml? eg for my precompiled Jsp's: <servlet> <servlet-name> changeLogFileName </servlet-name> <servlet-class> JspServ/changeLogFileName </servlet-class> </servlet> or <servlet> <servlet-name> changeLogFileName </servlet-name> <servlet-class> JspServ.changeLogFileName </servlet-class> </servlet> I inherited some code which uses /'s, and this works fine on all platforms, except AIX! I submitted a bug (tomcat), and was told that the classes must be specified using '.'. Does anyone familiar with the spec (Craig?) know if this is true? I checked out the spec and couldn't find it in there. Cheers, Dave
