this may seem like a stupid question, but i cant figure it out...

i have a simple JSP, in which I want to call a static method in another
class, but tomcat says it can't find the other class. The class I want
to call is no within a package, it is in the same directory as the jsp
file.

here is my jsp code:

<%@ page import="java.util.Enumeration"%>
<%@ page import="java.io.File"%>

<html>
<body>
<form action="unzip.jsp" method=post>
    <SELECT    NAME="File"    SIZE=4>
        <% File dir = new File("/myDir");

            for(File tempFile : dir.listFiles()) { %>
        <OPTION><%=tempFile%></OPTION>
        <% } %>

    </SELECT>
    <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=Press>
</form>
<B>Form Content</B><BR>
<TABLE>
<% Enumeration parameters = request.getParameterNames();
String parameterName = (String)parameters.nextElement();
String parameterValue = request.getParameter(parameterName);

if(parameterValue.endsWith(".zip")) {
Utils.unzipFile(new File(parameterValue));
        }
    %>
</body>
</html>

thanks!

It did not sound such a stupid question on c.l.j.programmer
at 4:40, but it does when reposted[1] to c.l.j.gui[2] at 5:02[3].

[1] Please refrain froom multi-posting.

[2] A basic description of the charters of the major
Java groups can be found here.
<http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.jsp#groups>
This query is not on-topic for the GUI group.

[3] Don't be so impatient! This is not a 'help-desk'.

Actually, I posted it first on c.l.j.gui, and once I realized I had
accidentally posted in the wrong group, I removed the post from
c.l.j.gui, and posted it on c.l.j.programmer.

No need to lecture me on "code of conduct" for thse groups, it was a
simple mistake, and rest assured, I am not being impatient.

Sorry for the mix up.

That does not explain to me why the c.l.j.programmer
post predates the c.l.j.gui post by 22 minutes. That
suggests the opposite. (And be clear. If the posts
had occured in the order you state, I would have presumed
much what you stated and ot nothered to comment)

Got a good time machine going there?

Only time will tell..

Can I 'rest assured' you will post to the best
group -only- in future?

> Sorry for the mix up.

OK.

[ Hope you get the technical problem sorted, BTW ]
