You must never, under any circumstances, include jre/lib in your classpath - 
the JVM takes care of that.

You also should never use the CLASSPATH environment variable - a bad idea from 
the start of Java that causes no end of grief these days.  On the rare occasion 
that you must specify additional library files for Tomcat's use, use the 
command line -cp parameter.  Library files for a webapp's use should be placed 
in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory.

What do you mean by "lib" in your statement above?  If it's the lib directory 
that comes with a JDK, you should not include that in your classpath either.  
If it's Tomcat's lib directory, that certainly must never be specified in the 
general classpath, since Tomcat has its own classloader for that directory.
