That doesn't /sound/ right, surely you will want to specify the *directory*
where the class is in the classpath not the name of the file itself (maybe
you meant that).

In often use the following to track down problems in JSP pages:

<%
try

%>

   ...All your (service) JSP code and HTML goes in here...

<%
} catch( Throwable t )

   t.printStackTrace();
   t.printStackTrace( new PrintWriter( out ) );
}
%>

This catches all possible errors and exceptions and writes a stack trace to
the stderr stream (probably the error log file of your servlet engine) and
to the browser.
This should give you a clue as to what is going on ( I suspect your bean
isn't actually a bean :-) ).

HTH,

Steve
