Thanks Chris for getting back to me on.
I had actually tried to define the value for catalina.home explicitely
in catalina.properties file, but I still can't get this working.
In catalina.properties file, my "common.loader" entry has 4 paths as
listed below.
common.loader=${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/i1
8n/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/endorsed/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/
lib/*.jar
With this definition, I got the following stacktrace:

If I replace "${catalina.home}" with "C:/Program~1/thirdparty/TOMCAT"
for the first path, I'll get MalformedURLException exception again for
the second path. If I made the same change for the first 2 paths, I'll
get the same exception complaining about the third path. If I do this
for the first 3 paths, the same exception points to the last path.
When I made the same change for all 4 paths, Tomcat failed to start. I
got the following error in catalina.* log:

One more thing: I don't see any of the above exceptions if I don't
deploy my servlet that uses RMI. Other servlets that are not using RMI
seem to work fine. I'm not sure if this issue is triggered when RMI is
used within Tomcat and when Tomcat is installed under a directory with
spaces. The postings I found mentioned the use of RMI.

Yes, for some reason spaces in path names are frequently the cause of
lots of head-scratching. I'm not sure if it's strictly a win32 issue or
not, but a lot of win32 folks seem to have this problem.
Something you could try is explicitly setting the value of the
CATALINA_HOME environment variable, and be sure to use the
8.3-equivalent of the path for the value. For instance:
set CATALINA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\thirdparty\TOMCAT
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat
I realize you might be using Tomcat as a service, so you'll have to
figure out how to get the same effect with the service launcher thing.
Another option, of course, is to install Tomcat into a directory with no
spaces in the path.
Hope that helps,
