where to place Bean file(*.class)in Tomcat server

I created a simple application for getting name,age and so on.Then By hitting submit will show the values entered in a session.So i created a Java file with getters and setters for Name, age and so on.
<jsp:useBean id="user" class="UserData" scope="session"/>
where i have to store this UserData.class file.
scrathing my head for long time

Thanks in Advance

Place the Class file for the bean in a folder under WEB-INF/classes.

Thanks for Reply,i placed class file in web-inf/classes
but still i`m getting these errors,org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.

Any reply appreciated

This is a recording

Do not use the default package. Create a package directory structure under WEB-INF/classes, and put the package specification at the beginning of all your JavaBean classes.

Ya Nathan is rite .

U can follow this code :

Beans should always be associated with some package other than DEFAULT.

Thanks Nathan and Rishi for helping me,

Now its working fine.
cheers mate

Help is urgently needed
thanks in advance

i have placed the class file in the path C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes

Should be:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\YOUR PACKAGE\yourFile.class

The directory structure has to match the package structure.

help me regarding this

jothi,

I hadn't noticed earlier that you tacked your question onto someone else's thread. This is called hi-jacking a thread and is considered rude.
Your last post is completely unrelated.
Please start a new thread with this new question.

Thank you
-Ben
