Configuration
 
Pre-requisite setup:

To begin with, you will need the following Jars (not zips) in your $CATALINA_BASE/<5.0.x>/common/lib directory.

Note: You only need naming-common.jar with 5.0 implementations, do not include it with 5.5 (or Tomcat will not start) because it is already bundled in the other 5.5 version of the factory Jar. You also don't need JSTL (JavaServer tags) unless you intend to use that as well. 

/usr/local/tomcat/5.5.7/common/lib

commons-collections-3.1.jar             
commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar
commons-el.jar
commons-pool-1.2.jar
jasper-compiler-jdt.jar
jasper-compiler.jar
jasper-runtime.jar
jsp-api.jar
jstl.jar
naming-java.jar
naming-factory.jar
naming-factory-dbcp.jar
naming-resources.jar
ojdbc14.jar
servlet-api.jar

For 5.0.x add this Jar:
naming-common.jar
You can get these files here if necessary:
Windows ZIP package
Unix GZIP package
