Configure addition libraries for JSP in Tomcat

Question

I'm very sorry if my question isn't clear. Actually, it's not my own question, it's my gf's one. I'm not experienced in Netbeans and Tomcat, so I cannot help her.

She built a project in Netbeans (a Jsp website), use some addition libraries. Everything's fine, unless she copies all the project into the root folder of Tomcat. She doesn't know how to config Tomcat to use those lib, and so, the project cannot be run.

Can you help me with this?

Thank you very much.

As far as she is using Netbeans, her best bet is to configure Tomcat with Netbeans, its a matter of second and quite handy.

Otherwise, if she is following the standard directory structure she should be able to just drop the whole application directory into TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. And she will find her application listed in Tomcat manager.

I hope this would help. Moreover, her best bet is to ask herself. :)
