Are you positive that your classes have a "*.class" extension, and are in their
proper package hierarchy? In other words, a class named
"com.mycompany.mypackage.MyClass" should be located at:
/WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/mypackage/MyClass.class
If your classes are really in JAR files (as one of your comments implied), the
JAR files need to be under "/WEB-INF/lib", not "/WEB-INF/classes".
