Todd, You either copy to the shared/lib as you've done or bundle it inside your war file or to webapps/<your web-app>/WEB-INF/lib.
The Tomcat docs for classloading may help de-mystify this a bit: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html I found the wiki entry a little confusing as well. Also see the first chapter of Kent Tongs book: http://www.agileskills2.org/EWDT/ Personally I use Maven to help manage this; you basically have a project descriptor, inside you have what libraries you use and what versions and for *most* Java components (Tapestry included) they will be downloaded from a central repository for you, then you can to deploy to Tomcat guaranteed that the versions in your project descriptor are going to the right place on your app server...works for me anyway.
