Right. However, that really only affects users running with packed WARs under a SecurityManager. Each of those use cases is only used by a small minority of users. The proportion of users that use both is likely to be very small indeed. Therefore, I didn't think it merited a mention under major changes. > Actually, should we try to suggest support for this "protocol" be added > to the JRE? Hmm. That could get interesting because a similar argument could be made for ear files. You could end up with "jar:war:ear:file:...". Allowing nesting of JARs (i.e. "jar:jar:...") is probably the best 'generic' solution here. A quick search later... https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4735639 I suggest starting a new thread, cc Rory so he sees it and ask whether the decision to not fix could be revisited.
