Tag Handler Class classpath

Question

          Hi.
          I have some problems with Tag Handler Classes in custom tags. When tag handler
          class store in package all is OK - I place it's class-file in /WEB-INF/classes/%package-path%/%class-name%.class
          and in tld-file in <tagclass> write: %package-path%.%class-name%.
          When tag handler class don't store in package I place class-file in /WEB-INF/classes/%class-name%.class
          and in tld-file in <tagclass> write: %class-name%, but it's doen't work. When
          jsp starts I recieve:
          D:\bea\wlserver\config\mydomain\applications\.wl_temp_do_not_delete\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_CustomTag\jsp_servlet\_simpleexample.java:81:
          cannot resolve symbol
          symbol : class ExampleTag
          location: class jsp_servlet._simpleexample
          ExampleTag csajspexample0 = null;
          ^
          Why? Plese, help me.

Answer 1

You probably should not use unnamed packages at all.
          Language spec specifically says that "Unnamed packages are provided by the
          Java platform principally for convenience when developing small or temporary
          applications or when just beginning development."
