Tomcat ignores the system-level CLASSPATH environment variable and assembles its own in the startup scripts. Check startup.sh and catalina.sh to see what it does. Modifying either startup.sh and/or catalina.sh to use your special classpath is not advised. Read the ClassLoader HOWTO. The Application Developer's Guide might be a good idea, too.
