Unable to compile class for JSP, Cannot resolve symbol

I recently upgraded from tomcat 3.2 to tomcat 4.1.18

The problem seems to be that I used to be able to call a jsp:useBean properly.

This was working in tomcat 3.2:

=======================================
<!-- <%@ page import = "Counter" %> -->


<!-- Instantiate the Counter bean with an id of "counter" -->
<jsp:useBean id="counter" scope="session" class="Counter" />

========================================

However, now the JSP pages doesn't seem to know where the Counter.class file is.

It is in: <serverpath>/webapps/WEB-INF/classes/


I honestly do not know what changes need to be made in the JSP page to make the call to Counter.class succeed.


Does the Counter.class file need to be in a subdirectory
of classes? If not, what should the import look like since its not in a package, just in the root of classes.



I presume I need a properly defined web.xml file, however my brain is fried as I cannot seem to define it properly. This is what I tried:

========================================
<web-app>

    <servlet>
     <servlet-name>Counter</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>Counter</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>Counter</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>
========================================
Note: I also tried:

 <url-pattern>/Counter</url-pattern>
 

This is the resulting ERROR REFERENCE:
--------------------------------------

7: '.' expected
import Counter;
              ^
/<serverpath>/webapps/PageBean_jsp.java:46: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class Counter
location: class org.apache.jsp.PageBean_jsp
      Counter counter = null;
      ^









Thanks.
