Russ, 1. I think that configuring "/WEB-INF/lib2" is not possible. The spec has no provision for it.
2. You may place all these jars into shared jars folder in tomcat configuration, and exclude them from your war. In tomcat 5.5.x, the place is ${catalina.base}/shared/lib/ See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html 3. If you really need it, the location of the /shared/lib folder can be configured. E.g. it can be split into several ones, like ${catalina.base}/common/ is split into several folders. You do this by modifying classloaders configuration in "catalina.properties" file.
