That depends on what version fo Tomcat you run. If you run Tomcat-4.1.x, you will find all the commons libraries referenced below in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib:
commons-collections.jar commons-dbcp.jar commons-pool.jar The reason your JDBC driver needs to be here alongside the jars above is that both the server and your app need access to the resouces. jars in server/lib can't see webapps and jars in shared/lib (plain "lib" on Tomcat-4.0.x) or WEB-INF/lb cannot see the server jars. common/lib is the only place that makes the resources available to both entities.
