------- Additional Comments From marc.saegesser@apropos.com  2001-10-29 08:48 -------
This isn't so much a bug as a feature.  The classes in tomcat/lib and 
webapps/WEB-INF/lib are loaded by different class loaders.  The class loader 
for tomcat/lib has no way to load classes found in webapps/WEB-INF/lib.  You'll 
either have to put all the jars in tomcat/lib or in each webapp.

Class loading has improved quite a bit in TC 4.0 so you might want to 
investigate switching to that version.
