i believe that class is in the bootstrap.jar file in the CATALINA_HOME/bin directory. Verify that it is indeed there, and that the jar file is valid. If you try to do a jar -tvf bootstrap.jar, it will throw and invalid jar exception or similar. This may not be the answer, but i've seen it happen before. This especially could happen in the case of a binary distribution. Otherwise, try specifically tagging that jar file to the classpath.
