Obvious question but have you tried placing your required jar in common/endorsed?

Hello, I'm building some utility wrappers for Tomcat (using 5.0.30 in this case). Since they need to be accessed by all webapps, I'm placing their jars in shared/lib (I also even tried common/lib to resolve the problem below). These jars reference classes in org.apache.catalina.* ('ServerFactory' and 'Realm' among others). When I exec call the methods from JSPs (for example), I get a NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/ServerFactory.. I *was* originally able to execute the same code that's now contained in the shared/lib jars, from directly inside JSPs, using the prescribed 'privileged=true' Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context attribute... however it's the classloader for shared/lib jars thats seems to need a similar 'privileged' attribute.. Should I place this same (or another attrib) in some other web.xml element? Or is there another lib directory I should use?
