Compiling a java file that has reference to another file in another package

Question

I created a file deleteitems.java inside the directory servlet.

There is a file called db.java in the directory 'dao.

In deleteitems.java I imported db.java file(import dao.db)

This is the directory structure Classes

├───dao
│       db.java
│
└───servlet
        deleteitems.java

How to compile in command line I'm inside servlet directory. It throws me the error package dao does not exist

You need to either explicitly specify the classpath, or run the compiler from the parent directory. — Sneftel

Make sure you have declared package declaration on db.java "package dao;".
