newbie The public type Hello must be defined in its own [message #720480]

The public type Hello must be defined in its own file.

This is the error message I'm getting when I try to do
Chapter09 Part3 from itextpdf.com/examples

I got the "HelloWorld " to work correctly.

Suggestions?

TIA
Steve

Steve,

There can be at most one public class in a given .java file and its name
must match that of the file.

I think I have it SOLVED.

I had a file called hello.java

and

public class Hello extends HttpServlet {

when I got the error. When I changed it to:

public class hello extends HttpServlet {

my error went away.

Thanks a lot.

Of course using a lower case name for a class name goes against the
recommended Java style guidelines so better to change the file to
Hello.java.
