JSP - Bean problem : plz help

Hi people,

I am a newbie to JSP / Servlets

I am trying to write a JSP which instantiates a Bean...

here is my code for the JSP :

<%@ page language="java"%>

<jsp:useBean id="testBean" scope="session" class="trial.TestBean"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="testBean" property="height" value="15"/>

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple JSP Example</title>
</head>
<body>

<p>
<% for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
%>
Hello World !!<br>
<% } %>

This is my first bean example : <jsp:getProperty name="testBean" property="height"/>
</p>

</body>
</html>

I have written a TestBean class with package declaration as "trial" and put this class in

/my_application_home/web-inf/classes/trial/TestBean.class

When I startup Tomcat and I access my applications other .jsp pages which donot access beans, they work fine...

but when I access the above bean, it says, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException : trial.TestBean not found.

Now here is the climax....when I put this "trial" directory in tomcat_home/common/classes/

the bean is found and the jsp executes perfectly....

why is it so??

I want to start development on a small project and cant find a way to solve this problem....

Please would u help me?

Thanks & Best Regards,
