query regarding WEB-INF\classes folder

[vikas sharmaa]

suppose i have a java file name com\Test.java where com is the package name. now where we put our Test.class file for tomcat server. under WEB-INF\classes\ folder or WEB-INF\classes\com\ folder. Please guide me.

Depends on package declaration of the class file itself.

Bauke,

does it mean that i need to check whether package declaration exists in the .class file using decompiler?

[Bauke Scholtz]

If you don't have the java source of it, then yes you need to decompile it. The path of the file in the classpath must match the package declaration.
