Firstly, you should be following convetional naming standards. Classes should being with a capital letter. As in Test2.

Secondly, place your class in a package other than the default. See the JSP FAQ for more information on this.

Thank you, it worked.

And why should it be kept inside packages and not in the classes folder

2.is this above thing appplicable to custom tags or all jsp files which includes classes

saravana, did you read the JSP FAQ concerning this subject?
