class not found********please help!
I'm trying to run my jsp application which imports two classes that i have saved in ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/business and ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/data. when I run the application by entering the url on the browser i get the following error. Does this mean the server cannot locate these two classes and what should i do to resolve this problem?
