I used to have commons-dbcp.jar, commons-pool.jar, and my db driver jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Removing pool and dbcp and moving the driver to common/lib made reloading my apps finally work properly. DB configuration is a container responsibility so it doesn't make sense for each app to have the related db jars in their lib directories.
