Hmm, there is some discrepancy. Apache Tomcat 5.5.26 upstream contains:

naming-factory-dbcp.jar
naming-factory.jar
naming-resources.jar

But neither naming-common.jar nor naming-java.jar. The list on the
website is not uptodate.

naming-factory.jar and naming-resources.jar are included in
libtomcat5.5-java package.

naming-factory-dbcp.jar is missing because tomcat5.5 in Debian is
patched to use commons-dbcp instead of the Tomcat private
implementation.

I hope this helps you a bit. Please mail back if you have more
questions.
