Endorsed folder is a different beast. Please do not put anything there.
Tomcat 5.5 documentation is still available online (if you know the
address to type it in a browser's address bar) [1] The closest analogy
to the "Shared" classloader in current Tomcat is the "Common"
classloader that loads classes from ${catalina.base|/lib.
[1] https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html#Overview
[2] https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html#Overview
It is possible to reconfigure Tomcat 9 to have a separate Shared
classloader as well, but that is an overkill.
Also, do not forget about Migration Guides [3].
