Howdy, My take on this: everything used to build every version of your deliverable should be under source code control: that includes dependencies such as servlet-api.jar. So it's not OK to simply rely on the tomcat distro servlet-api.jar. It IS OK to copy the tomcat distro servlet-api.jar into your source code control system. It is also OK to use a 3rd party repository like ibiblio for your dependencies, but some organizations won't like that.
As for putting these libraries in your WAR: Senor Ruthenbeck was right no target in saying you don't put container-provided libraries in the WAR, as most containers (including tomcat) will barf.
