What task is being called on line 222 of your build.xml file? What this is saying is that a class needed for a particular task cannot be found. It could be a missing *.jar file.
I believe you'll find that you're trying to implement the "deploy" task of Tomcat. Since you're getting the classfile reference, this means that the task definition is intact, but it cannot locate the needed *.class file that is connected to the definition. It appears that this needed task is related tomcat. Do you have the catalina-ant.jar in your CLASSPATH, or inside the lib folder inside your ANT_HOME directory? If not, you can get that by downloading the "tomcat-deployer" from the tomcat website <http://tomcat.apache.org>. The other problem is that you're using the wrong version of tomcat. Check the "Which Version" link <http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html>, and make sure you're installing the correct version you need.
