Hello

 First of all thank you for your answer. The owner of tomcat it's my 
user, but the problem is that my system doesn't have the group (or user) 
tomcat. I tried to launch tomcat as root (just as a test) moving the 
folder to the same place as the .class is, and later the same moving the 
folder to webapps/service/WEB-INF/lib folder... but nothing worked...

any other idea? I'll keep on trying.

Thank you!!
