It's better to use the lower-case "html"; this will prepare you better for XHTML.
<html>

<jsp:useBean id="msg" class="mybeans.SimpleBean" />
I don't think the <%@ page import="mybeans.*" %> works to prevent the need to
fully qualify the class in a <jsp:useBean ... /> tag. I easily could be
mistaken here, but the Sun docs refer to
<jsp:useBean id="beanName" class="fully_qualified_classname" scope="scope" />

SimpleBean is not a servlet.

You should install the app in the webapps/ directory directly, not one level
down in WebContent/, i.e.,
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/JSPTest/index.jsp
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/JSPTest/WEB-INF/
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/JSPTest/WEB-INF/classes/...
If WEB-INF/ is buried one level down then the container cannot find the
classes/ subdirectory.
