if your problems are at compile time then I suspect that it has very little to do with TOMCAT, are you sure that the TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\ourTest\WEB-INF\classes\com\ue\ueUtils directory is in your classpath? try something like:
javac -classpath %classpath%;TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\ourTest\WEB-INF\classes\com\ue\ueUtils someBean.java does that help?
