This is almost certainly caused by the involvement of two different classloaders. For example, if you place a driver jar such as Oracle's classes12.jar in both places, then you'll find you cannot cast from a com.oracle...BlobXXX to a com.oracle...BlobXXX, as the class you can see comes from the web-app class loader, but the blob you have came from Tomcat's common class loader, from whence the connection came. The class names are the same, and it can be quite confusing trying to figure it out, as the CastClassException doesn't indicate the loader, only the class name.
