This question was posted in the Newcomers forum, see https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1078579&goto=1735581&#msg_1735581. A comment suggested re- posting here.

Original post:

Learning web server programming (java, tomcat) using the tutorial found on jsptut.com. When I come to 'Beans and Forms Processing' I run into trouble: Where in the project should I store the java class UserData.java definition file? And how to compile it within Eclipse? Finally, where should teh UserData.class file go?

A working solution found by trial-and-terror is to store the .java file under Java Resources/src/<package name>, mark the .java file and hit Run. This creates a .class file in the build/classes/<package name> directory. I copy this .class file to WEB-INF/classes and restart the server.

I run Eclipse Mars.2, JDK 1.8 and Tomcat 8 on a CentOS 6 host.

For details about the Tomcat support in WTP, see the Tomcat FAC[1].
Though the information is rather old, it still applies.

Note that "publishing" is involved when running your Dynamic Web project
on a server. This "publishing" includes copying the classes under
"build/classes" to the "WEB-INF/classes" of the target publish location.
Since your class file is going to "build/classes", you are putting
your Java source in the right location. The "assembly" that occurs
during "publishing" is controlled by the Deployment Assembly page in the
project's Properties dialog.

Cheers,
Larry

Thanks for the link. It gave answers to other questions I have or have had.

Publishing my server fails. Lots of errors involving SVN directories. I have to run an old version of SVN (1.6.11) since I run it on CentOS 6 and haven't upgraded ...
