The simplest way to do this is to rely on the Java extensions framework. Add them to the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory. Just copy the files there. Otherwise, set the CLASSPATH environment variable before starting Tomcat. The startup scripts retain the existing CLASSPATH, adding the Tomcat-specific stuff to the end. See What do I need to acquire in order to get started with JavaMail? to see where to get these files.
