Where should I put my Java classes ?

Java classes need to be arranged in the proper directories in order for the Tomcat server to find them. For example, classes with no package would be in:


/home/username/public_html/WEB-INF/classes

classes in package com.company would be in:

/home/username/public_html/WEB-INF/classes/com/company

classes in package com.company.product.module would be in:

/home/username/public_html/WEB-INF/classes/com/company/project/module

etc.

In addition, you can put classes in JAR files in the following directory:

/home/username/public_html/WEB-INF/lib
