There should be no need to place any items in the $JAVA_HOME directory
at all. Also, there should be no need to place anything in the
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory either. All jars and resources
for an application should be placed in the application's respective
WEB-INF/lib directory.
Regarding the mapping and database descriptors, Robert Cooper's comments
are correct in terms of the security manager. Placement of the Castor
descriptors is certainly up to you, however, I've always had very good
luck placing them in the CLASSPATH for the application (WEB-INF/classes)
and fetching them from there. See the following message from the list
