Do people read anymore?
As previously stated in the original post, these classes need to be available to other non-web, non TomCat applications. I do not want to have to maintain two different repositories. Also as previously stated I have the desired configuration running on another box but I cannot duplicate the setup on this box.
If your only advice is to move them into TomCat, then please don't even bother replying.

Why do you want your classes outside of Tomcat? Copy the classes to your project when you build and eliminate the dependency. Or better yet, use a build environment like Ant to do the copying for you. As a bonus, it'll catch errors before you get to production and the webapp will be more portable.

Classpath problem. Really frustrating.
I'm trying to duplicate a setup on system A to system B and can't get it working. My problem is when I access the JSP page, Tomcat complains of a ClassNotFound exception. This happens with all of my custom classes. If I create a simple JSP page with no custom classes the JSP compiles fine.
When I manually execute the class via "java com.xxx.MyClass" it responds appropriately (my environment's CLASSPATH includes the custom library paths).
My custom classes live outside of the Tomcat directory (see below) because I use these classes in other non-web based applications, so they need to be available system wide.
I have melted my brain today trying to figure out why system A works with this configuration but system B gives me the ClassNotFound exception. I have even copied my entire Tomcat directory from system A to system B with no change. I thought perhaps I was starting the service with additional parameters but I don't see any in the registry settings.
Does anyone have an educated guess as to why I can't get this thing to work the way it's working on the other system and/or how I can get this working with my custom classes OUTSIDE of Tomcat.
