The exception is caused by Tomcat being unable to find a class called HttpServletRequest. This class is included with servlet-api.jar, which should have come handy with tomcat package.
Tomcat discovers its libraries from common/lib. Try placing a copy of the jar in /usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib or var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/ When you see similar error when you are running a webapp, place the jar in your application's WEB-INF/lib Hope it helps.
