There are variations between versions of Tomcat on how things work. For instance, Tomcat 3.2 recognized things in the classpath whereas Tomcat 3.3 doesn't. 3.3 has directories in its installation where jars can be added globally. I don't know how 4.x handles it.
To be safe, I think WEB-INF/lib is the recommended and most universal place to put jar files for your web application.
