Hi,
What version of Tomcat are you using?. This error is due to some core tomact jar files missing in the classpath. Please check your classpath.

[William Brogden]

NOTE: Tomcat ignores the system environment variable CLASSPATH.

A typical Tomcat installation includes the class-loader-howto.html file that tells exactly how Tomcat looks for classes and where to put jar files that are used by applications.
