Hello Christian, By chance, are the libraries that you put in TOMCAT_HOME/lib refer to libraries that you put in your webapp's WEB-INF/lib? If so, this just isn't going to work. The WEB-INF/lib libraries can see libraries in TOMCAT_HOME/lib, but not the other way around.
For instance, the developers at Log4j say that you should have log4j.jar in each separate webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory. However, this imposes itself upon any libraries that are using Log4j. They will need to also be inside WEB-INF/lib as well where, if Log4j was designed a non-static way where it could exist in TOMCAT_HOME/lib and serve all webapps with Loggers without running into each other, then you could have the libraries that reference log4j safely in TOMCAT_HOME/lib. If you didn't understand that, if all else fails, just put everything in WEB-INF/lib except for XML and DOM libraries, which are forbidden in the child classloader, and stuff like DBCP which both Tomcat and your webapp need access to (TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib).
