BLIND PANIC! Can't get any bean working with 9i

Question

Please please help!
We cannot get a simple test bean to be picked up by the .jsp page. Two of us have been here for 7 hours now. It worked fine with JRUN - just place the bean in the correct folder. What are we doing wrong?
We need to get beans working fast! The deadline for this stage of the project is upon us!!!
The error:
Request URI:/test/
Exception:
oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException: Line # 18, Error: Unable to find class for bean: genBean defined by tag with class: GenericBean
The jsp page:
<%--
-- globals.jsa -- holds stuff global to the whole application
--%>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*, javax.sql.*, oracle.jsp.dbutil.ConnCacheBean" %>
<event:application_OnStart>
<jsp:useBean id="genBean" class="GenericBean" scope="application">
<jsp:setProperty name="genBean" property="Color" value="4"/>
</jsp:useBean>
</event:application_OnStart>
The bean:
I assume the bean itself is ok 'cos it worked with JRun - It is a tiny tester and has been archived correctly into GenericBean.jar which consists of two files, Manifest.mf and GenericBean.class.
Again please help. Thanks

Answer 1

Make sure that you have the beans (classes) placed in the correct class path. These paths should work:
1)[docroot]/WEB-INF/classes
2)[docroot]/servlets
The 1st path is what you really should be using for JSP. If this directory does not exist then create it, and put your beans in it.
