This is most likely a newbie question, so please bear with me.

I have a class of my own, ("Building") which is compiled and placed in my WEB-INF 
directory.

Whenever I try to instantiate this class, I receive a IllegalAccessError error. 
According to the Java 1.2.2 API docs:

"Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method 
that it does not have access to. 

Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time 
if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed."

Which makes sense, but the JSP will die with just this:

Building b = new Building();

When I go into the generated servlet, I can see that it dies on this same line every 
time. If I run it like this:

Building b;
b = new Building();

... it will die on the second line.

To see if there's a problem in my Building class I wrote a simple application which 
simply takes a dozen Building objects, tosses them into a LinkedList object, and then 
prints them out one at a time. It works great as an application, but this servlet is 
giving me fits.

Am I doing something wrong?  I'm at a loss.
