Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tomcat6
Tomcat6 ignores any libraries placed in CATALINA_BASE/lib. As commented by Thierry Carrez in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315314: Tomcat6 is run with CATALINA_HOME set to /usr/share/tomcat6 and CATALINA_BASE set to /var/lib/tomcat6. If you read the Tomcat RUNNING.txt doc (available at /usr/share/doc/tomcat6-common/RUNNING.txt.gz) you'll see that Tomcat6 is looking at libraries at CATALINA_HOME/lib and doesn't look into CATALINA_BASE/lib. So the current behavior is following the spec. This is confusing, since every other directory (bin, conf, logs, webapps, work, and temp) is respected in CATALINA_BASE, and especially since the CATALINA_BASE/lib directory exists. It also makes it impossible to run two instances of Tomcat with conflicting libraries. I propose that Tomcat6 also uses CATALINA_BASE/lib (before, or instead of, CATALINA_HOME/lib) when searching for classes.
