Hi;
If I have a jar file used by multiple servlets, should I put it in
${catalina}/common/lib or in ${catalina}/webapps/${each_app}/WEB-INF/lib?
I ask because I have seen various warnings that most jar files need to be
placed in each webapp and not in common (like struts).
??? - thanks
Shared jars can be placed in common/lib, but keep in mind that all your
webapps will be locked to the same version of the jar. It's better to
have a copy in the webapp instead where you'll have more version
independence between wepapps.

I think so. If you use global naming resources and a
resource link (accessing your jdbc database via jndi),
then you might only need to place the jdbc drivers in
server/lib.
Reading some other online documentation, this appears
to be the preferred method.
