commons-pool is in server/lib (It looks like upstream changed this in 
one of the last releases), commons-pool is probably missing there since 
it is needed by commons-dbcp.

jdbc2_0-stdext.jar and jndi.jar are not part of Debian because they are 
not redistributable under acceptable conditions. There's a free 
implementation for JTA but it is currently not used by the tomcat4 
Debian package.

Could you please check if it is present on your system in server/lib?

The admin web application is running fine on my system on a fresh 
installation. Maybe commons-pool is added to the class path somehow.

Does adding a symlink to commons-pool.jar in server/lib solve the 
problem for you? If not, does adding symlinks to commons-dbcp.jar and 
commons-pool.jar in common/lib help?
