.jsp and <BEAN> tag

["Grammens, Justin" <JGrammens@DainRauscher.com>]

hello,
I have Apache 1.3.3 with gnuJSP 0.9.6 running on Linux and have no problems
running .jsp pages. The problem is when I try and use the .jsp pages to
reference a bean using the <BEAN> tag. It appears that it can't find the
bean since I always get errors (among others) like the one below:

500 JSP compile-time error

The JSP page you requested could not be served because the following
error(s) occurred:

/home/justin/htdocs/www/logintest/next.jsp:6: Class
_jsp._home._justin._htdocs._www._logintest.UserInfo not found in type
declaration.
                UserInfo userbean = null;

Any idea where the beans should be located? or where it's expecting them by
default? Or is IBM's websphere the only working alternative to using jsp and
beans on Linux?
The inline java code in the .jsp files works fine.
Please help! I have been trying to get this working for quite some time now.
thanks in advance,
-justin
