You must realize that applet classes are loaded just like
other web browser resources such as image files. They are
loaded by normal web server processes that don't have a
thing to do with your servlet. Therefore they must reside
in a directory that the web server can serve files from.
Your impression is correct, the API specifically forbids
serving classes from WEB-INF.
