It looks like the JSP you are executing is in a "jsp" subdirectory of the web application. If you check the Java source for the JSP under the "work" directory you will find that the servlet class for this JSP is in the "jsp" package. This means that classes specified without package names will be expected to be found in the "jsp" package.
Since ODBCConnection isn't in the "jsp" package it isn't found. If this JSP page is moved to the root of the web application you wouldn't see this error since the servlet class for the jsp wouldn't be in a package. However, this isn't the correct solution for this problem. The correct solution is to *always* put classes, like ODBCConnection, in a package so the package the JSP servlet gets put in won't matter. Hopefully this is what is causing your problem.
