hi
I am preparing for scwcd exam. And i'm referring the Head First Servlets & JSP.

Both servlet and bean code i saved in the classes folder and jsp in the root.
Problem is if i use package for the bean class and fully qualified class name in <jsp:useBean> it is working fine and gives the output . But if the package is removed means it is giving the error like org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
and saying the
An error occurred at line: 5 in the jsp file: /result.jsp
