To what class is the ClassNotFoundException referring ?
If it's the "Beans" class, then you must import java.beans.Beans.
If it's the actual bean, then check if it's in the classpath.
Btw, JSPs are compiled to servlets, so I guess that if JSPs handle JavaBeans
than servlets do this, too.
Cheers,
Luca
