WAR file not compatible with manual installation of Tomcat

Question

I have a WAR file that I created with Eclipse (it contains a website built with Struts 2). I developed and tested it on an Apache Tomcat 7.0.76 installation I did using Yum (my OS is CentOS). I then sent it to the client who experienced the following exception when trying to log in (the login page is displayed properly, the exception only occurs when trying to login):

HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error

Type Exception Report

Description The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Her Tomcat is installed manually using the zip file available on the Tomcat website. I tried to install the same version of Tomcat she uses (7.0.100) and got the same error. I then tried 7.0.90, and got the same error. I then tried to install the 7.0.76 using the zip file and... Got the error. But if I go back to my Tomcat 7.076 installed with Yum, it works as intended.

Is this a configuration problem ?

PS: the client is using Ubuntu

The relevant part of the exception is this:

Could not load resource factory class [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory][Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@3e5f977b
myproject.ConnectionDB.<clinit>(ConnectionDB.java:72)

It seems that you use the commons-dbcp library and it is installed on your tomcat instance, but not on the others
