Nao encontra a bean

Pessoal estou tentando usar um bean com java mas nao esta funcionando.

meu jsp:

<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Usando Bean</TITLE>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY>
    
    <% acao m = new acao(); %>

    A menssafem e: <%= m.msg() %> 

  </BODY>
</HTML>

acao.java

package beans;


public class acao{
    public acao() {
    }

    public String msg() {
        return "Este e o retorno do metodo";
    }
}

e no meu xml esta assim:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4" 
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
	http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
  
  <!-- Arquivo que inicializa a pasta -->
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
  
  <!-- INICIO - Mapeamento da Bean -->
  <servlet>       
      <servlet-name>acao</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>beans.acao</servlet-class>	
   </servlet>   
   <servlet-mapping>      
      <servlet-name>acao</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>beans/acao</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>  
   <!--FINAL - Mapeamento da Bean -->
</web-app>

mas esta dando esse erro:

/usr/java/resin-3.0.14/webapps/becker/WEB-INF/work/_jsp/_bean/_index__jsp.java:9:
package beans does not exist
import beans.*;
^

a bean esta compilada dentro de beans em classes.

abracos
