designed in Eclipse IDE and use its static methods

till now i am executing my jsp on local host
in a web browser for that

in the E drive itself i have Eclipse also so now how can call my java
class in page tag of JSP in dreamweaver

<%@page import="java.util.Date,Business.calculate"%>?
what path i must specify here for calculate class?
or where i must save my java class?

Any help on above will be realy great thnx in advance

(1)Create CATALINA_HOME/webapp/YOUR_APP/WEB-INF/classes/Business folder. Copy calculate.class in to the folder. This should solve your problem.
(2)Avoid using multiple IDE. Use Eclipse for JSP and Class both. Attached any Tomcat Plug-in to Eclipse, it will make your life easier.

You have to copy the jar file and put it in the plugins folder in the eclipse.

Go the place where you have installed eclipse and in eclipse you will find plugins folder put the jar in that folder.

Hope this solve your problem.

Follow Chetan's advice as it is good for you.

Here you go.. http://www.eclipsetotale.com/tomcatPlugin.html

CATALINA_HOME/webapp/YOUR_APP/WEB-INF/classes/Business folder
but i am i doubt where i must create this folder ?

CATALINA_HOME is an environment variable being set. It generally points to the folder/drive where you have installed Tomcat in the local machine.;

In tomcat, it will generally be TOMCAT_HOME as well. Just you need to check that out.

in Tomcat 6.0
folder where i already have

Tomcat 6.0/work/catalina/localhost/org/apache/jsp.class files

Whatever comes inside the "work" folder is created by Tomcat in the runtime and you should NOT depend on it. You may just check by editing the files in that location and as such it may help like a hot deployment.
