Importing classes problem

[shaf maff]

Hi Guys

I have two folders in my classes folder, one called "dao" and another called "dto", both contain various classes . The problem I am having is I am trying to include a class from the dto package in one of my dao classes but I keep getting errors that it cannot be found. I am using the following import statement:

import dto.MyClass;

Does anyone know why its not working ?

Can you post the java code please.

In dto folder:

package dto;
  
/**
  * Data Transfer Object. 
  */
public class User {
   public user() {
      // constructor
   }
}

In dao folder:

package dao;

import dto.User;

/**
 * Database Access Object 
 */
public final class UserDAO {
   public UserDAO() {
      // constructor
   }
}

When you compile or run your program, you need to include the "classes" directory on your classpath, and compile (or run) using the full paths/classnames. So, for example

C:\CLASSES> javac -cp . dto\*.java dao\*.java
C:\CLASSES> java cp . app.Main

That's javac dash cp space dot space dto slash star dot java space dao slash star dot java .
