Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am trying to use a custom tag but receive an error when I use it on a jsp page.

I have a tag handler class file, tag library descriptor file, specified the path to the .tld in the web.xml file.

The error implies that it cannot find the SimpleTag.class file, though I put it in the \webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\ directory.

Here is the error. Does anyone know what else it could be?

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

Generated servlet error:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\work\localhost\examples\jsp\jspVisual\ch10\using_0005ftag$jsp.java:63: Class org.apache.SimpleTag not found.
