Question

I need to patch a class that is in a JA file, in a package following the form pack1.pack2.pack3.com. So the full name of class is:

pack1.pack2.pack3.com.classtopatch

I have a folder in my application:

c:/app/patches

Should I simply copy the class to c:/app/patches/classtopath.class file or do I
need to create the entire folder tree like:

c:/app/patches/pack1/pack2/pack3/com 

and in pack1/pack2/pack3/com put classtopath.clas ?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, you need to create the directory structure to match your package name.

Create c:/app/patches/pack1/pack2/pack3/com and put classtopath.class in it.
