Java files in tomcat

[Gopi Krrishna]

I want to access ordinary java files in my jsp code. access in the sense i want to create an object like ClassA obj=new ClassA(); My problem is where should i put that ClassA.class file in my webapps folder?

i have put that class file inside my WEB-INF/classes folder but still when i try to run my jsp file i get error as
ClassA cannot be resolved to a type

Please help

Does the JSP have the proper import statement, i.e.

<%@ page import="package.ClassA" %>

Note that I prepended a package name, because classes can't be in the default package to be used like this.
