import statement in .java files and .jsp files ..correction
843833Oct 3 2001 — edited Oct 3 2001Guys I have few mysteries about this import statement.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
1)Suppose if I have a folder c:\SourceFolder it has one.java and two.java files.If I compile one.java then one.class files is created in c:\ClassFolder .Now two.java uses one of the method of one.java,and without using import statement in two.java I am able to compile two.java, and two.class file is created in c:\ClassFolder.I assume that the path of one.class was taken from the CLASSPATH environment variable,hence I there was no need for import statement .........am i right ?
BUT... in My.jsp,which is in C:\JspFolder, if I want to use one.class,then I have to specifically import one.class in My.jsp .That is i have to say
<%@page import="one"%>
in My.jsp.
and since the classpath is C:\ClassFolder ,it finds one.class in the C:\ClassFolder and MyJsp is compiled sucessfully.(Note that My.class is created in a folder different from c:\ClassFolder )
But I am wondering why was there no need for me to import one.class in two.java.
(Note I am using JDeveloper and Apache server)
Please help.
