How can I deploy an application in Tomcat 4.0.3???

Question

i'm learning JSP now and I want to deploy a simple application in Tomcat 4.0.3 The JSP file has a "page import" directive that tries to connect to a Bean which is put in the /web-inf/classes directory. But when I try to load the page in the browser it says that it cannot load the bean. Is there any specification that should be made in some of the Tomcat's config files [server.xml ...]? Because I followed the example in the JSP Tutorial with the "hellouser" application totally and it still doesn't work. I only worked when I copy/pasted the content of my JSP file in the hellouser.jsp and the content of the bean in "NameHandlerBean.java" from the hellouser application.
Thanks a lot, I hope there will be somebody to help me, because otherwise i can't go further in learning JSp

You can simply open your server.xml file by
tomcat-Installiton-Directory/conf/server.xml
Open server.xml in some editor and search for a tag named "Context"
<context path="myApp" docBase="Path of your application"........>
then in your browser you can run your application like
http://localhost:8080/myApp/.....
where myApp is the name that you have specified in context path above.
