which directory do the jar files go?

[Peoter Veliki]

If I wanted to place the jar files (mail.jar,activation.jar, etc...) in a folder in Tomcat instead of adding them to the classpath, which folder would I add them to?  In other words, which classloader do I want to load them?   Server Classloader:      lib/container Webapp Classloader:   lib/apps Common Classloader:  lib/common   If you place these in the classpath in startup.sh or startup.bat, then they will be loaded by the Application Classloader, correct?    If you use this method, how can you be sure that the xerces jar file will be found before the xml jar file that Tomcat uses by default?   Thanks
