Nothing you've posted so far has anything to do with endorsed files.
When you get to the point where such a thing would matter, if you don't
have them endorsed properly you'll get an error that leaves no doubt
that that is the problem.

Well, that class is required to provided by the Servlet container, so
not being able to find that class would suggest something amiss with the
container (Tomcat) itself.  From your previous notes it looks like
you've tried Tomcat 6.0.33, 6.0.35, and 7.0.16.  I wonder if some
libraries have been corrupted.  When you say you "downloaded" 6.0.35, do
you mean you grabbed the tarball or that you installed it via some
package manager?
