Vijay, Check out this link:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html Which contains this information, notice line with arrow: System - This class loader is normally initialized from the contents of the CLASSPATH environment variable. All such classes are visible to both Tomcat internal classes, and to web applications. However, the standard Tomcat 4 startup scripts ($CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh or %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat) totally ignore the contents of the <-------- CLASSPATH environment variable itself, and instead build the System class loader from the following repositories: $CATALINA_HOME/lib/bootstrap.jar - Contains the main() method that is used to initialize the Tomcat 4 server, and the class loader implementation classes it depends on. $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar - Contains the "javac" compiler used to convert JSP pages into servlet classes. Then if you follow on down on this page and look at the Shared, WebappX and JassperX bullets you should find info that might help you.
