Hi, shared/lib works on tomcat 5.0.25. It's trivial to test and verify for yourself.
The user reported this on 4.1.30, which is in maintenance mode where only showstopper and security bugs would be fixed, and further an OK workaround (using common/lib) exists. I didn't even try to confirm or reject his claim on 4.1.30, because of the above reasons, just answered his question of whether it's OK to use common/lib or not.
