There is something misconfigured at Tomcat which is preventing it from loading the classes at $CATALINA_HOME$/webapps/hipergate/WEB-INF/classes and/or /WEB-INF/lib

Check your /conf/web.xml and /conf/server.xml files.

Also look at Tomcat's start-up logs to see whether there is any error being reported at them.

One possible workaround is adding the line

common.loader=${catalina.home}/classes,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar

to file catalina.properties and then copy /WEB-INF/classes and /WEB-INF/lib contents there

but even if it works, this trick is not a solution to the problem, and not the standard way of configuring Tomcat neither.

The best path to follow is to find out why the class loader of Tomcat cannot properly load files from /WEB-INF/classes
