You might need to set the CLASSPATH for you java program directly
with the -classpath option from the CGI script. When the CGI is
run it is forked() off from the server process so it will get the
servers CLASSPATH not your shell CLASSPATH. This might be the
reason your class works in the shell and not in the CGI. You might
also want to check the web server error log to see if you see
error messages like "can't file classs ..." coming from the java
process (stderr from processes should be redirected to the server
error log by the web server).
I hope that helps
