why Jboss cannot resolve the helper class in WEB-INF/classes

[xgj6688]

I write a simple JSP page and a helper class named test.class.
The helper class was located in WEB-INF/classes folder of my WAR.
In the jsp page , I import the helper class, I want to create an object of test class.
The WAR deployed successfully,But when I call the jsp page, I was told:
===============================
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
Generated servlet error:
The import test cannot be resolved
=============================
ths JSP page:
==================
<%@ page import="test" %>


test

<%="this is jsp page"%>
<%
test t=new test();
%>
<%=t.fun1()%>


=======================
the test.java souce code:
=======================
public class test{
public String fun1(){
return "hello,this is from test1";
}
}


what's the problem?why jboss cannot resolve my helper class named test which has already located in WEB-INF/classes? In sun application server, it is no problem?please help me, thanks in advance.

I got the answer:the helper class must be packaged.

Bruce,

I experienced the same problem that you mentioned. At the second thread, you said "I got the answer:the helper class must be packaged."

Could you elaborate a bit on how the class should be packaged. An example would be very useful to a beginner of JBOSS like me. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

William
