Thanks Micheal and Scott for the reply. I resolved the problem by making the servlet.jar available in the CLASSPATH of my Telnet session where I startup Tomcat.
That is despite the fact that servlet.jar is already present in lib\common of Tomcat v3.3.1. I even made copies of servlet.jar in lib\apps, lib\container and webapps\soap\ it made no difference (the problem remains). I also place activation.jar and mail.jar in the CLASSPATH.
