The value for the useBean class attribute user.userData is invalid.

Hello,

I am running into a problem, I can't acces my .class files in Tomcat 7. Here is the code:

index.jsp:

NextPage.jsp:

SaveName.jsp:

web.xml:

My directory structure is as follows:
jsp_test/WebContent: index.jsp, NextPage.jsp, SaveName.jsp
jsp_test/WebContent/WEB-INF: web.xml
jsp_test/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/user/userData.class

But Tomcat gives the following error once I have submitted data in index.jsp:

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

I have tried searching on the internet, but I cannot find any solution... How can I solve this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Ranch!

Shouldn't class userData a) be renamed to UserData, and b) implement Serializable?

Also,

Class user.userData is not a servlet, and should not be setup like one.
