Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I have recently upgraded to Tomcat 4.0.1 and my JSP pages are no longer finding my classes in:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/mycontext/WEB-INF/classes

I can get the JSP pages to work if I put an '@import page' command in it to explicitly reference my class, but do I have to do this with Tomcat 4? My previous tomcat configuration found my classes automatically.

I have checked/tried the following:
- Putting the classes in the $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes dir
- Putting the classes in the
$CATALINA_HOME/classes dir
- Putting the classes in a jar file in all the appropriate 'lib' directories.
- Putting all the classes and lib directories in the CLASSPATH (both in the Unix env variable and in the Tomcat startup script catalina.sh)
- Checked the unix file permissions of all directories/files.

But it still does not seem to find the classes! Please Help!, it's driving me mad!

I have not defined a context in servers.xml (Tomcat does it automatically using defaults) and my context web.xml contains almost nothing.

This is my class (Test.java/Test.class):

import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class Test extends HttpServlet
{
  public static String HelloWorld()
  {
    return "This is from Hello World servlet!";
  }
}

This is the jsp page that works (with page import):

<%@page import="Test" %>
<p>Test Page</p>
<%=Test.HelloWorld()%>

This is the jsp page that does not (without page import):

<p>Test Page</p>
<%=Test.HelloWorld()%>

This is the error I am getting on the second jsp:

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

An error occurred at line: 5 in the jsp file: /test2.jsp

Generated servlet error:
