Many of the servlet engines out there do not respect the classpath
environment variable (especially if they are running as NT Services),
instead they use property file settings or default directories to find their
classes. For instance in JWS, if it is started as an NT Service, you must
put the .jar files in the <SERVLET_HOME>/lib directory for them to be found.
