[...]I believe Tomcat ignores any system environment variable CLASSPATH.
When Tomcat starts, it assumes the CLASSPATH for your Web app consists of:
(3) All the JARs in the TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib, which are visible only to Tomcat,
I am not so sure that (3) hold. While trying to get rid of an exception when catalina starts, I found out that the missing class was indeed in a jar in server/lib. Moving the jar to the Java extensions directory the class was finally found (in turn generating a fatal exception, but this is another story...).
