jsp when compiled cant find bean class see code servlet exception

//here is my simple jsp page

<html>
<head>
<jsp:useBean class="stars.linebean" id="bean0" scope="page" />
<title>Access JavaBean Methods</title>
</head>
<body>
Welcome to my Web page
<%= bean0.doubleLine(30) %>
</body>
</html>

//here is my simple bean
package stars;
public class linebean
{
public String stars(int x)
{
String text = "<br>";
for(int i =0;i<x;i++)
text = text + "*";
return text + "<br>";
}

public String doubleLine(int x)
{
String text = "<br>";
for (int i=0;i<x;i++)
text = text + "=";
return text + "<br>";
}
}
this is in the correct path where i run the sample servlets
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\stars
inside stars is the linebean.class
