Probably easy question

Question

On Tomcat, can I make subdirectories in the classes/ folder, put .class files in there, and access them like this:
http://localhost/servlet/folder/HelloWorld
Instead of having to declare a package and access like:
http://localhost/servlet/folder.HelloWorld
When i try to do it, i get a noclassdeffound error.

Answer 1

You can make it to accessed as :
http://localhost/servlet/folder.HelloWorld
by configuring the web.xml. Tyr by putting the following in web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>folder.HelloWorld</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/folder/HelloWorld</url-pattern
</servlet-mapping>
