"Install Your JDBC Driver
Use of the JDBC Data Sources JNDI Resource Factory requires that you make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal classes and to your web application. This is most easily accomplished by installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory, which makes the driver available both to the resource factory and to your application."
"DBCP uses the Jakarta-Commons Database Connection Pool. It relies on number of Jakarta-Commons componenets:
Jakarta-Commons DBCP 1.0
Jakarta-Commons Collections 2.0
Jakarta-Commons Pool 1.0
These jar files along with your the jar file for your JDBC driver should be installed in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.
NOTE:Third Party drivers should be in jarfiles, not zipfiles. Tomcat only adds $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/*.jar to the classpath.
NOTE: Do not install these jarfiles in your /WEB-INF/lib, or $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, or anywhere else. You will experience problems if you install them anyplace other than $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib."

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why?
Is it a general rule that struts.jar shouldn't be in tomcat's classpath? What about $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/ ?
