You should be able to put them into ${catalina.home}/common/lib/ or
into ${catalina.base}/shared/lib/
Changing CLASSPATH variable is not recommended.
See the following links:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#I.27m_encountering_classloader_problems_when_using_JNI_under_Tomcat
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html#Oracle%208i%20with%20OCI%20client
Placing native libs into WEB-APP might not work because of the
"..library is already loaded in another classloader" issue mentioned
in the FAQ.
