This has to do with how Java deals with classes that are not part of a package
in a class that *is* part of a package (like the class generated from the JSP
page). It's the same problem as I describe for JavaBeans in this article:
<http://java.oreilly.com/news/jsptips_1100.html>
The solution is simple: make the tag handler part of a package.
