Recommend? What belongs to CATALINA_BASE and what to CATALINA_HOME is fixed. You cannot pull one set of subdirectories and omit some others. :/ There was a change in 6.0.21 (6.0.24 - released 2010-01-21) that now a Tomcat instance looks both into $CATALINA_BASE\lib and $CATALINA_HOME\lib for libraries. It is configurable in conf/catalina.properties So nowadays you would usually leave standard Tomcat libraries in $CATALINA_HOME and your instance-specific ones (e.g. database drivers) in $CATALINA_BASE. Any other libraries are better to be in your webapp's WEB-INF\lib. If they are not, your chances for observing a PermGen memory leak are higher.
