This confirms that the problem class is on your CLASSPATH. However, putting servlet.jar on the CLASSPATH is not a good solution.
Now servlet.jar can't see any classes in the "TOMCAT_HOME/lib/common" classloader that it could previously. You've traded one symptom for different symptoms which may be more difficult to diagnose. The correct solution is to find the class on the CLASSPATH that depends on servlet.jar and move it off of the CLASSPATH to TOMCAT_HOME/lib/common, TOMCAT_HOME/lib/apps, or the webapp's WEB-INF/lib (assuming the class is in a jar). Which directory is best depends on the nature of the class. I would recommend trying WEB-INF/lib first. This should be doable since the webapp is working on other servers. Unfortunately, I know of no simple way to find the offending class, other than trial and error.
