Well, not to be "rude", but your design choice is IMHO, poor. Build
tools are available and designed to handle version control -- which is
what I read as the reason for your reluctance to include the classes
directly in the webapp. Every few months, I see someone come on the
list asking what you are asking and the advice is always the same: Don't
do it that way.
Good luck in your efforts. Just don't expect a lot of help on this.

Do people read anymore?
As previously stated in the original post, these classes need to be
available to other non-web, non TomCat applications. I do not want to
have to maintain two different repositories. Also as previously
stated I have the desired configuration running on another box but I
cannot duplicate the setup on this box.
If your only advice is to move them into TomCat, then please don't
even bother replying.

Why do you want your classes outside of Tomcat? Copy the classes to
your project when you build and eliminate the dependency. Or better
yet, use a build environment like Ant to do the copying for you. As
a bonus, it'll catch errors before you get to production and the
webapp will be more portable.

Classpath problem. Really frustrating.
I'm trying to duplicate a setup on system A to system B and can't
get it working. My problem is when I access the JSP page, Tomcat
complains of a ClassNotFound exception. This happens with all of my
custom classes. If I create a simple JSP page with no custom
classes the JSP compiles fine.
When I manually execute the class via "java com.xxx.MyClass" it
responds appropriately (my environment's CLASSPATH includes the
custom library paths).
My custom classes live outside of the Tomcat directory (see below)
because I use these classes in other non-web based applications, so
they need to be available system wide.
I have melted my brain today trying to figure out why system A works
with this configuration but system B gives me the ClassNotFound
exception. I have even copied my entire Tomcat directory from
system A to system B with no change. I thought perhaps I was
starting the service with additional parameters but I don't see any
in the registry settings.
Does anyone have an educated guess as to why I can't get this thing
to work the way it's working on the other system and/or how I can
get this working with my custom classes OUTSIDE of Tomcat.
