You don't have to "write a classpath" for web apps.

You place any jar you need in the web-apps WEB-INF/lib directory, except JDBC libs may need to be placed in the "shared/lib" directory of tomcat.

Your own classes are to be placed in the WEB-INF/classes directory (with each package being a directory, as normal).

And give your class a package, that is a must. You should never write a class without a package. And classnames should be capitalised (not needed but it is standard, and, from most programmers, expected).

So, now assume you change valid to give it a package of authentication , and change the name from valid to Validator , the servlet-class would then be, of course, authentication.Validator , and that class will be located in WEB-INF/classes/authentication/Validator.class

All of this (except the need for a package and classnames which arebasic java) is explained in the linked to Manual.
