Take out the path and docBase attributes - they're not allowed when
using META-INF/context.xml.  (This is not likely to solve your problem,
but let's clean up the obvious things first.)

By intercepting and discarding the original exception, you threw away
much useful information, such as the stack trace.  Don't do that.

The same jar must not be present in more than one node in a given
classloader branch.  So it would be o.k. to /move/ the jar to
common/lib, but you must not have it in both common/lib and WEB-INF/lib.

Don't know, but the fix the above stuff first (along with what David S
suggested), and let's go from there.
