Phil,
Ok - you're using the %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\examples\jsp\dates\dates.jsp?
The line you're interested in is
<jsp:useBean id='clock' scope='page' class='dates.JspCalendar'
type="dates.JspCalendar" />
This is more of a general java question rather than tomcat (assuming I'm
understanding you correctly, so forgive me if I appear patronizing (o: ).
What the jsp:useBean does is try to create an object of type
"dates.JspCalendar". This object is said to exist in a package "dates" and
be called "JspCalendar". As such, tomcat will assume it exists in the
directory webapps\phil\WEB-INF\classes\dates\ - now if I read correectly
you've put it in the classes dir. When you compile, you shouldn't move files
around yourself... do something like
javac -d %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\phil\WEB-INF\classes JspCalendar.java and
you'll see that javac puts it in the correct place. This it basically the
way CLASSPATH operates in java...
this should do the trick.
