You don't want to put things in lib/ext unless you have to.  The general
idea is not to mess with the default JDK installation without good
reason.  ;)

If you have more than one web application that will use the same jars,
common/lib is a good location for those jars.  Otherwise,
/app/WEB-INF/lib is the right place.

The documentation on the classloader hierarchy can help you determine
where to place jars.  It's at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html

Good luck,
