THIS IS NOT CORRECT. Tomcat was looking for the class
jsp.dates.DBWriter in its classpath - WEB-INF/classes, one of the JAR files
in WEB-INF/lib, one of the JAR files in TOMCAT_HOME/lib, or somewhere in the
classpath Tomcat was started with. TOMCAT WILL NEVER LOOK FOR CLASSES
RELATIVE TO THE JSP FILE.
His actual problem was that he didn't import the class because he
assumes that all JSP files have the default package, which is incorrect.
Their package is based upon their location in the webapp (i.e. /jsp/date
becomes the jsp.date package).
