It could well be, although "$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib" sounds like you are
using 3.3, not 4.0???.
Tomcat 4.0's standard scripts totally ignore the CLASSPATH variable that
you start with, and should *not* be modified.
If you want to make your own classes visible to all web applications, put
them in a JAR file underneath $TOMCAT_HOME/lib.
