Hello David,
I have not been able to reproduce your error yet, but I am still trying to.

Yes, the way you're doing it is the "proper" way of making a J2EE application.
In the beginning that is a tedious task but it gets easier once you've done it
a few time, and there are tools that makes this alot easier. I'm also sure
better tools will come in the future to simplify J2EE development.
However, if you just want to set up a simple JSP example you don't really need
an entire J2EE application, just add the JSP to the default web-application
and you're set.
