Trouble loading custom classes into my classes

[decibel]

Hi,

I cannot figure out how to load a custom class into a class I've created.

I'm using tomcat, so i have a directory structure like this:

webapps/myapp
webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/mypackage

I've created and compiled a class called Base in the mypackage directory like this:

package mypackage;

class Base{

	public Base(){

	}

}

and I'm trying to use it in a class in the mypackage directory like this:

package mypackage;

import java.util.*;

import mypackage.Base;

public class MyClass implements java.io.Serializable {

	public MyClass(){
		
		Base var = new Base();

	}

}

When I try to compile MyClass, i keep getting "cannot resolve symbol".

Please help, what is the trick to using custom classes???

thanks in advance.

Everything looks okay.

Check to make sure you have a good CLASSPATH.
