There is no mechanism to "deploy" a jar library through the admin console.

On the other hand, you could leverage the "libraries" [1] feature
detailed at [2] for this usecase. The common library jar [say foo.jar]
could be copied to domains/domain1/lib/applibs and each webservice could
then be deployed with its libraries attribute pointing to "foo.jar". The
utility foo.jar would then be "shared" [ie one copy, shared state etc]
across all the webservices deployed with libraries attribute as "foo.jar"
If you do not want to mark each application as shown above and merely
want to share this jar across all applications in your domain, you could
- copy foo.jar to domains/domain1/lib
- restart domain
- deploy your application(s).
