This has nothing to do with Tomcat 4.1.x. It's due to a "correction" in
Sun's JDK 1.4.x, see Sun's Bug Parade:

<http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4361575.html>

Based on the comments there, it's breaking code in many places and is
a very unpopular change that I wasn't aware of until I saw your mail and
did some research. Your choices at this point is to use a different
compiler (e.g. Jikes or Sun's JDK 1.3.x) or place your beans in a
package (which I recommend no matter what).
