Why to give the file name same as the public class name in java?..

Answer / mahesh

First of all, it only has to be the same when the class is
public. And there is no explicit reason for that, it's just
a convention that came along with old versions of java and
people got used to it... They say it's because of the
limited capabilities of the compiler to compile
dependencies.

Why to give the file name same as the public class name in java?..

Answer / naresh kumar

If u dont keep public in front of class that is not
accessible by third party packages. But if u keep public
infront of class that is accessible by third party
packages.

Problem: class CheckServlet extends HttpServlet
{---- }
Now u want to executed this servlet class in server
(Tomcat,WebSphear,WebLogic) an error will come .Because the
above class is comes under default access modifier.

Ans: public class CheckServlet extends HttpServlet
{-------}
This class services will executed in any server(either
Tomcat,WebLogic etc.,). Because The class is visible in
third party class packages like container packages.
