a problem about java beans

[amanda wu]

for java beans:
if User.java
package com.cartapp.user;
public class User{....}
then handoff1.jsp with line
<jsp:useBean id="handoff" scope="session" class="com.cartapp.user.User" />
...
and in server.xml,
i set
<Context path="/cartapp" docBase="c:\CARTAPP" debug="0"
reloadable="true">
where shall i store the user.java?
pls answer me since i am now always encounter the following line:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18\work\Standalone\localhost\cartapp\jsp\handoff1_jsp.java:41: package com.cartapp.user does not exist
com.cartapp.user.User handoff = null;

Hi,
the context-path should work with this:
<Context path="/cartapp" docBase="cartapp" debug="0" reloadable="true" />
and your compiled User.class has be in:
/cartapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/cartapp/user/
if the directories don't exist create them
cb

the context-path should work with this:
<Context path="/cartapp" docBase="cartapp" debug="0" reloadable="true" />

That is incorrect. Unless the cartapp application is located within container's webapps folder, which it is clearly not in the original example, the full path to the folder is needed.

hence, what's the full address refering to the package containing User.class as in my original codes?

[Bear Bibeault]

Christian is correct on that score:

 WEB-INF/classes/com/cartapp/user/
