In JSP, how to import a java class-in-default_package ?

[Lakshman Kumar]

I have questions about import java class in JSP,like the following structure

test
|
|__WEB-INF
|
|__classes
|
|_ Dog.class

In classes directory,I put a java class named Dog.class,and I put a JSP file
in test directory,named index.jsp ,and In index.jsp called Dog class,but I
don't use "import",I think JSP can find it.

/*Dog.java*/
public class Dog{
String name;
public Dog(String a){
this.name=name;
}
public String getName(
return name;
}
}

But when I run index.jsp,it raised error:
cannot resolve symbol : class Dog
Then I copy hello class into test directory,it still raise above errors.

My questions are:
1.I want to know what default path which JSP use class
2.I don't want to use "package" in Dog.java, If I use import in JSP,how to
write this import statement?

Thanks in Advance.

The structure is being displayed incorrectly as...

test
|
|__WEB-INF
|
|__classes
|
|_ Dog.class

Actually it is as follows... test-->WEB-INF-->classes-->Dog.class.

Thanks.

The index.jsp is under "test" (My web application / Context).
