how import .class file

[fuadhamidov]

hi

i have problem while importing .class.
my case:
i use jakarta-tomcat ( 4.1.27 )as web server and Net-Beans.
until now i have only use (and create) jar. i put jar in web-inf/lib. and i could easily import packages.

problem:
i need to use a jar (say it is bbb.jar) that contains .class file not in folder. i have tried several cases to compile my jar (not bbb.jar) but i was unsuccessful.
my jar is in web-inf/lib.
i put the .class file in web-inf/classes and same folder wiht web-inf (and jsp's).
i try to add statement to import class
(1.import aaa; 2.import aaa.class
to java but it gives error.

what should i do?

Tomcat 4 uses the SDK1.4 comiler, and does not support classes that are not in a package - hence your error trying to import the class.

Just don't import the class - Tomcat should pick it up automatically from the jar in the /lib directory - if not, unjar it and dump it in /classes directory.

OK,
i have done your suggestion and can't compile again. i think the problem is in NetBeans. i use NetBeans 3.5.1. beacuse i can't compile ".java" file in which i call the (unimported) ".class" file. the tomcat has stopped.
