Server :: Tomcat 7.0.8 Not Finding Packaged Classes?

I'm trying to set up Apache Tomcat with virtual hosting. I've used Caucho Resin before but not Tomcat...and I've run into what appears to be (from Google at least) a rather common problem with Tomcat in that any properly packaged classes under WEB-INF of the default virtual host or the named host are not found and Tomcat complains of a class that "cannot be resolved to a type". I researched this error on Google and the consensus seems to be that: -

- You need properly packaged classes as classes in the default package are no longer allowed. I have done this.

- You need to either fully declare the packaged class to make an instance of it within the JSP or include the via an import statement at the top of the JSP. I have done this.

- In the web.xml for the Tomcat server instance (under $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml) you need to set the servlet mapping for JSPs fork init-param to "true". I have done this also.

Yet the problem persists and I have found no solution. So I can only assume I'm missing something obvious and fundamental. My configuration is as follows: - I have two virtual hosts - one as the default virtual host and another as a named virtual host.

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/localhost <--- Default host.
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/www.easicasino.com <--- Named host. The logic being that the URL IP address of the server will hit the default webapp and the URL hostname with hit the named webapp. This appears to work with just JSPs.

My $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml looks like this: -

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" />
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JasperListener" />
