No, this is most likely not correct. "org.apache.jsp" is just the package that this particular container uses for all servlets it generates from JSP pages. If it can't find a class that's in the unnamed package (i.e. no package declaration), it assumes that it's part of the same package as the "JSP-servlet" and reports the error this way.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "external", but the rules for what goes in WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib has nothing to do with if the class is "external" or not: WEB-INF/lib is for JAR files that contains classes, WEB-INF/classes is for class files that are not in JAR files.
