Some of the usual class loading problems are 1. classpath for Tomcat changed in catalina.[sh|bat]. Since Tomcat 3.3, I believe, there has been no need to change the Tomcat startup script.
2. soap.jar in a directory that Tomcat will load. It should not be deployed in the server. All Apache SOAP classes must be accessed from the webapp (i.e. soap.war). 3. soap.jar in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext or $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext. It is not a Java extension and should not be in either of those directories. 4. Required jars, such as the xml parser, activation or javamail in multiple locations, such as both in the server shared directory and the webapp directory. These should be in exactly one place. I typically have them in the shared directory. These also should not be in the Java extension directories. Before checking these things, do a jar -tvf activation.jar to confirm that it contains javax.activation.DataSource. I don't know why it would not, but if it does not, you would, of course, need to obtain a version that does.
