How to write a java class to be accessed in liferay theme?

Question

I have a Scenario where I have a java class written in JSP and its members are used in that JSP itself.

The JSP is part of a liferay portlet.

Now, I need to write that class for the velocity template in liferay theme so that I can access it in navigation.vm file.

Following is a dummy snippet -

xyz.jsp (part)

<body>
<%
final class DummyABC {
public String method1() {

}
public String method2() {

}
public String method3() {

}

}
%>
</body>

I need to access this class in my navigation.vm file.

Please help me through it.

I need to write this class somewhere. Where should I write it? I do not have the class written anywhere to get the instance. — aayushdriger, Jul 07 '14 at 10:12
Put that class in java project, create jar file having that class file and place jar under tomcat/lib/ext. — Pankaj Kathiriya, Jul 07 '14 at 10:32

You can write new java class and create a object in init.vm file so that navigation.vm file can access this variable
