Java class files not found error in jsp sub-directories

Question

Hello:
I have a web-application that is setup in the following way:
index.jsp
test\index1.jsp
WEB-INF\classes\test.class
Both jsp pages index.jsp and index1.jsp uses the test.class in the WEB-INF\classes directory.
The index.jsp page works fine.
The test\index1.jsp gives me a "cannot resolve symbol" error. Error shown below:
[jsp src:line #:19]
cannot resolve symbol symbol : class test location: class test.index1 test ts = new test("hello");
Any help at all is appreciated.
Thanks,
Benny

Hello Qiang:
Thanks a lot for replying, and sorry for the delay in replying back to you. I have been searching the forums for a while and have yet to find anyone else with a similar problem. And yes, it is kinda wierd.
But, anyways, I checked the java version from the windows command line as follows and it is using version 1.4.2:
java -version
java version "1.4.2_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)
Also, here are the contents of my test.class file:
public class test
private String t = null;
public test(String t1)
setTest(t1);
public void setTest(String t1)
     t = t1;
public String getTest()
     return t;
Here are the contents of my index.jsp file:
<b> hello </b>
<%
String test_str = null;
test ts = new test("Hello from the main jsp directory");
test_str = ts.getTest();
%>
<b> test_str is: </b> <%=test_str%>
Click here to test your jsp index1.jsp file in the test sub-directory
Here are the results from this jsp page:
hello
test_str is: Hello from the main jsp directory
Click here to test your jsp index1.jsp file in the test sub-directory
Here are the contents from the test/index1.jsp file:
<b> hello from test sub-directory </b>
<%
String test_str = null;
test ts = new test("Hello from the jsp test sub-directory");
test_str = ts.getTest();
%>
<b> test_str is: </b> <%=test_str%>
And here is what happens when I try to go to the test/index1.jsp page:
Request URI:/benny_test/test/index1.jsp
Exception:
OracleJSP:oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException:
Errors compiling:C:\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\default\benny_test\persistence\_pages\_test\_index1.java

     [jsp src:line #:5]

I will try putting it in a package like you said and see if that helps. Also, do you see a similar issue in your environment.
Anyways, thanks for all your help. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
Benny
