JSP import self made Package that imports another self made package!

Question

I also posted under JSP section.
I really need an answer please.
Quite new to JSP & java. Not sure about how to use import properly for my problem below:
Using Tomcat4.12 & jdsdk1.4 on WinXP
So I create a package - lets call it p1.
For all java files that belong to this packge I put on the top line of code:
package p1;
All files of package p1 are put in Tomcatdir\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\p1
everything complies & the packge runs fine - theres a servlet in it & I'm happy.
Now I create a new package to go with my webapp. Lets call this p2.
However there is a java file in p2 that uses a class from p1 package.
So in that file I put:
import p1.theclassname;
However this will not work because this line refers to:
Tomcatdir\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\p2\p1
so it will not find the class. Because its in:
Tomcatdir\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\p1
Anyway I can make it comple by moving files about & making a more complex dir structure & more complex package names - but this cant b the propler way to do it?????
Anyway with my quick fix to this problem I cause a new porblem - in my jsp files that use both packages I cant import the classes I needas the are all complied in packages that are now in the worng place on the hard drive!
I also tried doing this by just having p1 where it was to start with & then instead of making p2 - I'd just complie it in the classes folder & have it import p1. This works fine until I try to import the classes in JSP - I tried things like:
<%@ page import=".*" %>
but it doesnt work unless its in a packge like
<%@ page import="p2.*" %>
but if its in a package then the sturcture to the other packge is all wrong again!!!!!!!!
I hope someone knows what I'm going on about.
Please help me.

you are answer izzaman's problemYes
he has solve already,
right?Well, I wasn't sure if he really solved it, or just found an ugly workaround, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't the latter.
can you help me to clear me doubt also. I'm new
to Java. my problem has been posted earlier....I don't know specifically how to fix your problem. It's probably a classpath issue, though it may also be some simple oversight like a misspelling or something. It's hard to say without more details. If it is a classpath issue, then whatever izzaman did may also work for you. I haven't done much with servlets and JSP lately, and when I have, I've never had classpath problems, so I don't know what kinds of issues are common there.
I would suggest starting a new thread for your problem. That's generally what you should do anyway, and it will get more notice if it's in its own thread. Don't put it in Adanced Language Topics though. Put it in the JSP forum or Java Programming.
Good Luck!
