It makes sense to put the JDBC driver jars in the war but I had problems
when I had a resource like the following in my context.xml:
<Resource
name="jdbc/database"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/art"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
username="art"
password="art"
validationQuery="select 1"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxIdle="2"
maxWait="5000"
maxActive="4"
/>
And doing a JNDI lookup for the Datasource. I ended up getting Class Not
Found exceptions until I moved the Jar files into the Common Tomcat Lib
directory. This was with Tomcat 6.0.14 and it was about 4-6 months ago.
I've never got back into looking at it closer.
Just food for thought.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER set CLASSPATH for use with Tomcat.

Yes.
