If you place things like JDBC driver JAR files in the directory identified
in the Tomcat documentation, it will be recognized for you. If really
want to point at a JAR file somewhere else (and you aren't running on a
Unix system where you can use symbolic links), then you have to modify the
Tomcat startup scripts to include your JAR on the CLASSPATH -- but then,
you are on your own for support.
CLASSPATH is a cause of horrendous numbers of problems for new Java users.
That's why Tomcat ignores it and imposes its own rules.
