How to fix ClassCastException in Windows

When trying to execute Tomcat4.0-b5 from DOS, I
received ClassCastExceptions. After searching the
mail, I saw someone mention that classes loaded by
different classloaders are treated as different
classes
even though the names may match.

I made the following changes to 'catalina.bat' and
it works now.
   1) Explicitly added every ".jar" or directory to
      source/.class to classpath defined in 
      catalina.bat
   2) Changed the start class from 
      org.apache.catalina.startup.BootStrap  to
      org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
   3) No .jar files in magic directories "server/lib"
      or "common/lib".  Don't know if this matters.
