The entries in the CLASSPATH you posted above looks like they might be from iFS 1.0. (The directory they're being looked up from is C:\orant8i\Ifs) When did you install iFS into this directory? (iFS 1.1 gets installed into %ORACLE_HOME%\ifs1.1)
Also, the error you're seeing:
NoSuchMethodError: oracle.ifs.beans.LibrarySession oracle.ifs.beans.LibraryService.connect(oracle.ifs.common.Credential, oracle.ifs.common.ConnectOptions)
also makes me think you're using iFS 1.0 jars. (That method was added in iFS 1.1)
