Copies of the bean class (or of the ZIP or JAR file that contains the bean class) must reside in the following locations:

• On the system running Dreamweaver, a copy of the bean class must reside in the Dreamweaver Configuration/classes folder or in the system’s class path. (Dreamweaver uses this copy of the class at design time.)

• On the system running the JSP application server, the bean class must reside in the application server’s class path. (Your application server uses this copy of the class at runtime.) The application server’s class path varies from application server to application server, but generally the class path is to a WEB-INF folder with a classes/bean subfolder.

  If Dreamweaver and the application server are both running on the same system, and the application server uses the system class path (not an internal class path), a single copy of the JavaBeans class can reside on the computer in the system class path. Both the application server and Dreamweaver use this copy of the class. Otherwise, copies of the JavaBeans class must reside in two paths on the computer (as described above).

  The folder structure must match the JavaBeans’ package. For example, if the JavaBeans’ package is called com.ardvark.myBean, you must store the package in /com/ardvark/ within the class path or in the Dreamweaver Configuration/classes folder.
