That was my point. JAR up your class files, and put them where Tomcat expects them to be. Problem solved. People typically use ant to do this, so that it is fairly automatic when deploy time comes around.

Ah, ha.  Now you are getting somewhere. The "Class Loader
Definitions" has the following under the "System" bullet:

However, the standard Tomcat 4 startup scripts
($CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh or
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat) totally ignore the contents of
the CLASSPATH environment variable itself, and instead build the
System class loader from the following repositories:


This is the problem I am trying to get around. The additional libraries are not contained in any of the normal catalina classpaths (hence the system environment variable). I have it recognizing the external classpath, but can't find the jsp tag info (and possibly more).

See the ClassLoader HOWTO:



http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html

specifically:


"Shared - This class loader is the place to put classes and
resources that you wish to share across ALL web applications (unless Tomcat
internal classes also need access, in which case you should put them in
the Common class loader instead). All unpacked classes and resources in $CATALINA_HOME/shared/classes, as well as classes and
resources in JAR files under $CATALINA_HOME/lib, are made visible through this
class loader."
