As suggested, the problem was the security manager:
Most of our login related classes are the CATALINA_BASE/lib folder. So
uncommenting this lines in the catalina.policy files fix the problem:
// If using a per instance lib directory, i.e. ${catalina.base}/lib,
// then the following permission will need to be uncommented
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/lib/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
Thanks to Konstantin Kolinko for the quick hint!
PS: Why the exception is not clear enough??

1. Your exact version of Tomcat x.y.z =?
******* Tomcat 7.0.23
2. Your OS
********* Windows server 2008
3. Do you think that you are running with Java's SecurityManager enabled? [1]
******* Is enabled whit the same configurations that we used to use with
tomcat 6
4. Is there anything else in the logs?
********* Nothing else
I thing that the "Could not initialize class" message means that the class is
found, but its initialization failed.
I wonder though why it is not an instance of ExceptionInInitializerError.
