Trying a few more experiments and made some insights. By blanking out the environment variable for PATH and restarting Tomcat, the application, which was being initialized successfully, now fails in the same way Tomcat was failing originally, so we theorize that Tomcat might be having difficulties finding the DB2 Connect binaries/executables.
Does this make any sense?

By any chance, are you running with a SecurityManager? Any access permission issues that would prevent Tomcat from reading the .jar file? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
