That's fine. I know why packages are for. But why is it necessary to
create packages to keep our ActionForm classes, Action classes. Name
collision is the problem which the development team has to tackle.
What if the development team decides to name classes starting with
their Employee ID, probability of name collision decreases
considerably. Is it strictly enforced by Struts to use packages.

I dont think Java 1.5 specification speficies it explicitely to
compulsarily use packages. Any pointers, Andre. Doesn't the compiler
create a default package.

Supposing you have two different classes with same name, you need to
associate the class with a package to make clear that the class comes
from a particular package...

Subject: why do we need to create packages

Hello,

I was wondering why do we need to create packages to keep our
ActionForms, Action classes. Can't we do without creating packages.

I created the .class files in WEB-INF\classes directory and gave no
package names in struts-config.xml file. It gave NullPoniterException
- Error creating form bean of class Test.

regards,
vijay.
