Webapp classloader prefers WEB-INF/lib over WEB-INF/classes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-2503
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2503
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: web
Affects Versions: 1.1.1, 1.1
Environment: windows and linux, jetty and tomcat
Reporter: Nikla Ratinen
Application classloader looks in WAR's WEB-INF/lib before WEB-INF/classes. This
is in violation of servlet 2.4 (and 2.3) specification, 9.5 Directory
Structure, which states:
"TheWeb application class loader must load classes from the WEB-INF/ classes
directory first, and then from library JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory."
This behaviour prevents web application from overriding classes and resources
from included libraries.
