resin.home/webapps is not meaningful.  All default paths in the  
resin.conf are based off ${server.root}.  So the <web-app-deploy  
path="webapps"/> is relative to ${server.root} (or actually, relative  
to the virtual host's root which is relative to the server root.)

Can you double check the app-default.xml.  In the past, some people  
have deleted the <class-loader> which defines the WEB-INF/classes and  
WEB-INF/lib.
