It depends upon your platform and how you are starting Tomcat. I
know on Windows NT it automatically adds everything in the lib directory,
and I believe so on Unix, but there's a comment in tomcat.bat that indicates
that some Microsoft Operating systems (95/98/ME) don't have the command
necessry for the batch file to do this for you.
Since it seems to not be workings, here are a few questions to track
down your problem:
1. Are you using one of the "lesser" Microsoft OSes mentioned
above? If so, you either edit tomcat.bat or put them into the classpath
yourself.
2. What is it that makes you think they're not in the classpath -
could it be in some way that you are using them (i.e. getResource doesn't
load things in sibling ClassLoader, just parents).
3. Have you edited tocmat.bat/.sh? If so, look at the orginial and
compare. What are the changes (and could they be causing the problem)?

Subject: $TOMCAT_HOME/lib
Should the jar files in TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory be automatically
included into tomcat's classpath. Or do I need to explicitly include
them into my CLASSPATH. My jar files only being included when I add them
to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.
