jsp package directory structure problem

I'm new and trying to follow an example from a wrox book on how to set up a jsp with a bean. I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what my problem is....

Here's the story...

I compile my .java file from the following directory

D:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\begjsp-ch04\web-inf\classes

as follows

javac com\wrox\cars\CarBean.java

I point my browser to

http://dsti-128:8080/begjsp-ch04/carPage.jsp

and I get this error:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from
fulfilling this request.

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: 14 in the jsp file: /begjsp-ch04/carPage.jsp

Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file

D:\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\_\begjsp-ch04\carPage_jsp.java:49:
package com.wrox.cars does not exist

com.wrox.cars.CarBean myCar = new com.wrox.cars.CarBean();
out.write("\r\n\t\r\n\tI own a ");
^

here's the contents of carPage.jsp
<html>

<head>

<title>Using a JavaBean</title>

</head>

<body>

<h2> Using a JavaBean</h2>

<% com.wrox.cars.CarBean myCar = new com.wrox.cars.CarBean(); %>

I own a <%= myCar.getMake() %> <br />

<% myCar.setMake("Ferrari"); %>

Now I own a <%= myCar.getMake() %>

</body>

</html>

here's the contents of CarBean.class

package com.wrox.cars;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class CarBean implements Serializable {

public CarBean(){

}

private String make = "Ford";

public String getMake() {
return make;

}

public void setMake(String make) {
this.make = make;

}

}

<***Location of my class CALLED CarBean.class********>

You say your jsp is in "D:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\begjsp-ch04" and your bean is in "D:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\begjsp-ch04"?

Those need to be the same.
