Either way I need my jar in $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib. That is the

it in right? Not $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib?
If you want something to start before all the other webapps, my
feeling is it would need to do *something* with the container itself,
and thus would need to be in common/lib.
If you are willing to modify server.xml, then you can probably write
an implementation of Host or Engine (whether or not it's a subclass
of StandardHost or StandardEngine as I suggested before), and put its
class name in server.xml, and that should do what you want. You
might be able to do the same with a Valve: I'm not sure as I've never
worked with Valves.
Either way, it should, indeed, just be a jar you drop into common/lib
and an attribute you add/change in server.xml.
