Check out the examples that came with the reference implementation for samples of
correct usage -- in particular the example at $JSP_HOME/examples/snp/snoop.jsp.

I have not played with the reference implementation much, but 99.9% of the problems
people have with packages is that they don't set their classpath correctly. Be
sure that your servlet classes are properly nested in the directories indicated by
their package names, and be sure that the top-level directory (that is, the
directory that contains the top-level package name directory) is on your class
path.
If you don't understand how class paths work, start with the Java Language Tutorial
at JavaSoft's web site (http://www.javasoft.com/docs/books/tutorial). or the tools
documentation that comes with the JDK.

See the RequestDispatcher class in the version 2.1 servlet API
(http://www.javasoft.com/products/servlet). There is also a good servlet trail in
the Java Language Tutorial mentioned above.
