no, because it is too easy to have conflicting libraries between tomcat and the classpath. Therefore tomcat 4.x does not use the classpath. The bootstrap loads from /jre/lib/ext, but if you are going to put your library there, then just put it under tomcat instead unless you have a *real* reason to keep it there.
what's wrong with moving(or copying) the jar to common/lib?
