Hi,

a) It is not necessary to declare a class in the "import".
The import statement, just like in java, only means that
you can leave the package part off of later uses of the bean.

b) I recommend putting all beans in some package or other.
There are some problems if they are at the "global" level, 
without any package.

c) you need to place your class under your webapp root,
in the WEB-INF/classes directory. Don't forget that you
need to create subdirectorie(s) corresponding to the package
name(s) that you chose for your java class. You don't need
to do anything with CLASSPATH.

Regards,

Simon
