If you really need to access jar's or classes outside of your webapp you can either:
1) Write your own WebAppClassloader - icky but doable
2) Change $CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.properties and change either the common or shared loader. This is more managable but all webapps will share these classes.
Adding your own classes to the system classpath will cause major headaches. Adding common libraries to the common or shared classloader typically is the least of all evils when you can't place classes inside WEB-INF.
