Erin,
Thank you! Your post looks a lot like mine, which
gave me an idea. The "Unable to compile class for
JSP" has only shown up for me in version 5.0.19.
I switched to tomcat 5.0.16 and the problem is gone.
Trying switching to a different version of tomcat and
see if the problem disappears for you too. Maybe
there's something in 5.0.19 that's messed up.
