Adding webapp libraries to the common classloader (by placing them
into ${catalina.base}/lib or by modifying the definition of
common.loader) is a bad idea.
(as documented and as discussed many times on this mailing list)

IF you want to decouple libraries from your war,  add them to your
webapp's classpath, by configuring a VirtualWebappLoader ,
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/loader.html#VirtualWebappLoader_Implementation
