As far as I know this is possible with WebSphere where you have a concept for shared libraries (not only a shared classpath) but not with Tomcat. You can imagine them as symbolic links: You declare them once and tell WebSphere which applications uses them.
For Tomcat it would be possible to have them once in the filesystem and symbolic link them into WEB-INF/lib. This should be scripted in the deployment to avoid tomcat deleting the symbolic links. I would consider this as a workaround... It is not so nice as simply putting them as shared library or shared classpath and reduces the ease of maintenance again.
