File compiles but later i get NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I wrote the following (shortened) Java-Servlet. I put j2ee.jar, xalan.jar, xalanservlet.jar and xml-apis.jar to the classpath and it compiles without an Error.
When I now want to start the Servlet on a Domino Server or Tomcat, then
I get the following Error Message:
HTTP JVM: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory: javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory
I have done everything which I could imagine to get the servlet run. I changed the Servers classpath a lot of times. I use the
Java(TM) 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition Version: 1.3.1 FCS Release Date: January 2002.

import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class SimpleXSLTServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException, java.net.MalformedURLException
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
catch (Exception e)
out.close();
}

I wrote the following (shortened) Java-Servlet. I put
j2ee.jar, xalan.jar, xalanservlet.jar and xml-apis.jar
to the classpath and it compiles without an Error.
When I now want to start the Servlet on a Domino
Server or Tomcat, then Try copying xalan.jar in the common/lib folder for Tomcat
All files in that folder get added to the system classpath
I hope that helps.
