Actually , it looks as if tomcat doesn't pick up the jars from the
web-inf/lib directory. Once i added the jars explicitly to the classpath is
worked. Is this a bug ???

I have an application which is running under tomcat. However i donot use the

2.2 spec directory structure. I have a servlet that is loaded on startup. I 
explicitly set the CLASSPATH with all the jars needed. 
I am trying to move to the webapps/ directory structure where i can put all 
the jars under WEB-INF/lib. 
However the startup servlet fails with some class not found exception. Is 
the CLASSPATH variable ignored in this case ?? What could be the problem ?? 
The startup servlet is a class in a jar in WEB-INF/lib. 

Thanks

I too noticed this problem.The Tomcat is recognizing the WAR files/ web
appl. directory structure autmatically from TOMCAT_HOME/webapps but the
archieves or libraries that are put in WEB-INF/lib are not being picked
up dynamically.
That's the reason why I am just keeping all the reqd. libraries into
/lib
under TOMCAT_HOME.
I appreciate any comments/response on this.
