No, "%CATALINA_HOME%\lib" is the right place for JARs that should only be
seen by applications. Use "%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib" if you want a JAR
file visible to both applications *and* Catalina internal classes (which
is rarely necessary).
Without knowing what the failure symptoms are when you put the JDBC
driver files into "%CATALINA_HOME%\lib", it's a little hard to debug "that
did not help".
