Installing alfresco on Tomcat

The documentation "Alfresco 4.0.1 Documentation > Installing > Installing Alfresco Enterprise > Installing Alfresco on Tomcat"
says to create folder shared/lib inside $TOMCAT_HOME.

Create the directories required for an Alfresco installation:

    Create the shared/classes directory.
   Create the shared/lib directory.


However there is no information in the document regarding what to put in this directory.
Can anyone let me know what is the purpose of creating this directory. ?

Thanks,
Ankur

Its for Database drivers.   And any other libraries you may require.      You don't strictly need it, alfresco will run without it  - but it won't hurt and is part of the standard install pattern.
