Hmmm... In the serverstart.bat file included with the JSP 1.0 EA package I
downloaded, <JSP-HOME>\examples\WEB-INF\jsp\beans is added to the CLASSPATH.
And since the Bean class is in a package named "num", the server finds
it in <JSP-HOME>\examples\WEB-INF\jsp\beans\num, i.e. just where you say
it's stored.
A Bean is just a Java class, basically just using some special method naming
conventions; there's no magic here, no "magic beans" (pun intended). So just
place your Bean classes in a directory or JAR file that's part of the server's
CLASSPATH, using the normal conventions for package name to subdirectory
mapping, and it should work fine. If you still have problems, maybe it's
not that it can't find the class file but that your Bean doesn't have a
public constructor or a similar problem.
