[opencms-dev] custom class for templateone.form

[Carl Alex Friis Nielsen]

You have misunderstood the structure of modules.
The "classes" folder is used to hold property files mostly containing localized
strings.
If you want to add java stuff, build it into a jar file and put it in the
"lib" folder (dont forget to publish the jar file and to restart the application server.)

BTW Templateone is NOT a good tool to learn to use OpenCms - it is way too complicated.

Cheers,

Carl
