Issues while deploying grails application - sql-server

Question

I have a Grails application which works fine in all the environments i.e Development, Testing and Production but does deploy on specific machines. I have successfully deployed its WAR on two different machines but not able to deploy it on another machine. It seems that jtds driver does not load. I got the following error:
2015-06-03 07:22:16,955] Error initializing the application: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManagerPostProcessor': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'hibernateProperties' while setting bean property 'hibernateProperties'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'hibernateProperties': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'dialectDetector' while setting bean property 'properties' with key [hibernate.dialect]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dialectDetector': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.support.MetaDataAccessException: Error while extracting DatabaseMetaData; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

My DataSource.groovy looks like this,
dataSource {
pooled = true

driverClassName = "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
}
hibernate {
cache.use_second_level_cache = true
cache.use_query_cache = false

// cache.region.factory_class = 'org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory' // Hibernate 4
singleSession = true // configure OSIV singleSession mode
}
// environment specific settings
environments {
production {
dataSource {
pooled = true
jmxExport = true

}
}
}
}
I have the jar file in lib folder under WEB-INF. Same war file works on other machine but not on a specific machine. Java version is same on both machines (1.7.0_75). My grails version is 2.3.8. I have also tried cleaning and re-creating the war file. Other applications with same driver successfully install on this machine. Help is appreciated.

You can also put jar file inside Tomcat lib folder
