It's because of the way that Java resolves classnames that don't have package
prefixes.
The Java compiler will assume that any such class you reference is in the same
package as the class being compiled. Now, consider the fact that the JSP system is
generating a servlet class for your page, and then compiling it. Everything works
fine if the generated servlet for a JSP page is not itself put into a package --
but most JSP compilers *do* this, and they are not consistent about what package
name they use. Thus, your (unpackaged) bean will be considered to be in the same
package, and will not be found.
Moral of the story: you should always put your bean in packages, and use fully
qualified class names in things like <jsp:useBean>.
