Don't ever, ever, ever set CLASSPATH for Tomcat; you will confound the classloader \
design and end up with all sorts of ClassNotFoundExceptions.  It will likely also be \
impossible to reload webapps without restarting the entire server.

The servlet spec states that jars are to be placed in WEB-INF/lib, so that's what \
Tomcat implements; if the developer wants something beyond that, a custom classloader \
is what's needed.
