Nikla Ratinen updated GERONIMO-2503:
------------------------------------
Attachment: patch.txt
test.war
A minimal web application to demonstrate the issue. Should print "Servlet
loaded from WEB-INF/classes" to System.out when servlet class loaded from
WEB-INF/classes.
Also, a patch against
org.apache.geronimo.web.deployment.AbstractWebModuleBuilder to change
classloading order.
> Webapp classloader prefers WEB-INF/lib over WEB-INF/classes

> 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.
