If you setup your Postgres SQL database as a JNDI resource in the
context xml file, Tomcat itself will need access to the driver class.
Hence the need to place such drivers in common/lib.

Probably because the Catalina classloader also needs to be able to see
those classes. If they are in shared, they are not visible to the core
