only for your first question :-)
* class can be put in:
- WEB-INF/classes
or
- $CATALINA_HOME/classes
or
- $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
* jar can be put in:
- WEB-INF/lib
or
- $CATALINA_HOME/lib
or
- $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
good email for you :-)

* $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib - Visible to *both* Catalina internal classes
and to web applications. The JDBC optional package JAR needed to go
here.
* $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib - Visible to Catalina internal classes (your
own custom realms, the JDBC driver used by JDBCRealm, and so on).
* $CATALINA_HOME/lib - Visible to web apps only
In the particular case of the SOAP 2.2 stuff (or JAXM, or lots of other
applicaiton only things), Catalina internal classes don't get involved, so
you can put mail.jar and activation.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/lib.
