This is the "book" answer, but it doesn't work with virtual domains
where there IS no WEB-INF directory.
(And this isn't really a good solution, as I don't want to make a global
directory writable by all).
Everyone sent me the this answer so I must have been unclear. Here's the
nub of the problem in a very few lines.
BEANS WORK FINE ON MAIN DOMAIN
I am serving multiple domains with one server and one instance of Tomcat.
I have no trouble installing new classes into the root domain (in fact, the
Tomcat examples are a good, er, example, <http://www.editev.com/examples/jsp/>)
JSP WORKS FINE ON OTHER DOMAINS.
I have many other domains though. On one of them, cliktrik, there is a
very simple JSP page:
<http://cliktrik.com/page.jsp>
><HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY>
>
> <%= new Integer(23).toString() %>
>
></BODY></HTML>
which works fine!
JSP/BEANS ON OTHER DOMAINS DOESN'T WORK
<http://cliktrik.com/page2.jsp>
><%@ page import="TestBean" %>
>
><HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY>
>
> <%= new Integer(23).toString() %>
>
></BODY></HTML>
gets an error:
[blah, blah]
>Class TestBean not found in import.
However, TestBean is in fact there...
>[root@www classes]# cd /home/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes
>[root@www classes]# cat TestBean.java
>public class TestBean implements java.io.Serializable {

The point is: there is *no* WEB-INF directory for virtual domains,
at least that I can see.
I've played around with putting the .class file into
/home/jakarta-tomcat/classes
or a .jar into
/home/jakarta-tomcat/lib
with no luck.
A CHEAT MAKES A LITTLE PROGRESS
The thoroughly-bad seeming idea of putting a TestBean.class file into
/home/jakarta-tomcat/work_cliktrik/localhost_8080
gets me through the compilation phase... so page2.jsp then works!
but I can then never instantiate the bean:
<http://cliktrik.com/page3.jsp>
><%@ page import="TestBean" %>
>
><HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY>
> <jsp:useBean id="testBean" scope="request" class="TestBean"/>
>
> <%= new Integer(23).toString() %>
>
></BODY></HTML>

gives me the following, highly useless error.
>Error: 500

>Location: /page3.jsp
>
>TestBean
I'm completely stuck at this point. And it's really disconcerting because
all I want to do is add a "one-liner" bean to a "one-liner" JSP file in
a virtual domain and I've spent many hours on it...
