As you guessed would be intuitive, yes, the JSP compiler include classes in shared/lib (and also classes in webapp itself). The shared/lib is the same as if you copy it's content to the WEB-INF/lib folder. As your compiler does not include the shared/lib in it's classpath, there can be various reason
1) You did not copy your jar to shared/lib. Considering the path of your tomcat, it's not unreasonnable to think be you copied it to another to tomcat :) 2) You did copy, but after startup of tomcat. Restart tomcat. 3) Your jar is broken (not ending with .jar, corrupted) and classloader ignored it. Sun JAR classloader, from my experience, tend to load what is availabe from truncated .jar without warning of truncation. As a consequence only half of jar content is used. 4) You use a non tomcat provided webappClassloader that forgets to load shared/lib. If that's the case, you are probably already aware of that fact :) 5) A Cosmic ray did randomly swap a bit in your memory. That's how experts explained an incorrect pooling result with electronic voting device a few years ago in Belgium :D.
