I'm trying to use a bean in a JSP page. This works fine if the page is in the html directory for the web-app (so ./html for the default-site app) with the bean classes in web-app-root/beans. But if I create a web-app then reference the web-app in web-site.xml (so <web-app load-on-startup="true" root="/home">../home/html/</web-app> I can't even compile a jsp page with a <%@ page import="cal.* %> tag in - it doesn't seem to matter where I put the .class files and I don't even have to reference a bean just a one line .jsp file (with the above jsp in) doesn't compile. BTW .java classes aren't persisted in the case of a compilation failure, but they would be a really cool thing to have to help track down bugs, oh and it would be really nice to have a log message telling us exactly what failed during the compilation phase. I'm using 0.8.1 BTW (and eagerly awaiting 0.8.2!) Kevin Jones
