How to compile connection pool sample java code

Question

I recently bought David Knox's "Effective Oracle Database 10g Security by Design", and have been working through his examples with client identifiers and how to leverage database security with anonymous connection pools.
The database side of things I totally understand and have set up, but I now want to compile/run the java code examples, but don't know what is required to compile this.
I'm running Oracle 10.2.0.4 (64-bit) Enterprise Edition on a Linux (RHEL 5) PC. Java version is 1.6.0_20. Relevant .bash_profile environment variables are as follows:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jre:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
When I try to compile, I get:
oracle:DB10204$ java FastConnect.java
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: FastConnect/java
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: FastConnect.java
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: FastConnect.java. Program will exit.
The java source code of one of the examples is below. Is someone able to point me in the right direction as to how I get this to compile? Do I just have a syntax and/or environment configuration modification to do, or is there more to it than that to get this example working? Any help much appreciated.
oracle:DB10204$   cat FastConnect.java
package OSBD;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
public class FastConnect
  public static void main(String[] args)
    long connectTime=0, connectionStart=0, connectionStop=0;
    long connectTime2=0, connectionStart2=0, connectionStop2=0;
    ConnMgr cm = new ConnMgr();
    // time first connection. This connection initializes pool.
    connectionStart = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Connection conn = cm.getConnection("SCOTT");
    connectionStop = System.currentTimeMillis();
    String query = "select ename, job, sal from person_view";
    try {
      // show security by querying from View
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
      ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      while (rset.next()) {
        System.out.println("Name:   " + rset.getString(1));
        System.out.println("Job:    " + rset.getString(2));
        System.out.println("Salary: " + rset.getString(3));
      stmt.close();
      rset.close();
      // close the connection which resets the database session
      cm.closeConnection(conn);
      // time subsequent connection as different user
      connectionStart2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
      conn = cm.getConnection("KING");
      connectionStop2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
      // ensure database can distinguish this new user
      stmt = conn.createStatement();
      rset = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      while (rset.next()) {
        System.out.println("Name:   " + rset.getString(1));
        System.out.println("Job:    " + rset.getString(2));
        System.out.println("Salary: " + rset.getString(3));
      stmt.close();
      rset.close();
      cm.closeConnection(conn);
    } catch (Exception e)    { System.out.println(e.toString()); }
    // print timing results
    connectTime = (connectionStop - connectionStart);
    System.out.println("Connection time for Pool: " + connectTime + " ms.");
    connectTime2 = (connectionStop2 - connectionStart2);
    System.out.println("Subsequent connection time: " +
                        connectTime2 + " ms.");

I'm looking at Chapter 6.

I will try to explain what is happening here.
You are launching java telling it to run a class named 'java' in a package named 'FastConnect'
and java says it cannot find that class.
What you intended to do:
$ # make the directory structure match the package structure
$ mkdir OSBD
$ # move the source file in the directory structure so it matches the package structure
$ mv FastConnect.java OSBD/
$ # compile OSBD/FastConnect.java to OSBD/FastConnect.class
$ javac OSBD/FastConnect.java
$ # launch java using the OSBD/FastConnect class
$ java -cp . OSBD.FastConnectNote that the package 'OSBD' does not follow the recommended naming conventions
you might consider changing that to 'osbd'.
