Since we both consider it to be a tomcat bug
I hope that one of tomcat guru will treat and answer this behavior
But I still cant understand why by putting my web-inf/classes in
CLASSPATH
Makes tomcat fail to find the web-inf/lib

Hi Niv,
we have also spent 2 days last week to debug this problem, since a user
of our object database had problems to get in running.
The setup:
The jar of our engine was registered in the global CLASSPATH. The user
had his classes in ..\project-dir\web-inf\classes (not in the
CLASSPATH). The phenomena was very interesting: The classes would work
O.K. but our engine got a ClassNotFoundException calling Class.forName()
for all web-inf\classes when it was invoked from the
init() of the servlet.
Two workarounds were possible:
- ..\project-dir\web-inf\classes added to the CLASSPATH
- placing all Jars in ..\project-dir\web-inf\lib
Maybe the second solution might work our for you.
I would also consider the behaviour to be a Tomcat bug.
Kind regards,
Carl
