--- Comment #2 from Peter Rader <p.ra...@gmx.net> --- You are right, this may be partitial a problem. Well i would be happy to keep it on the expertise of the developers to decide if the static contents in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/resources/** should be extracted too (even if JSR315§3.6 seeems to ignore those contents). About the static content of the root of a war: 1. At least this is not related to JSR315§10.10/§3.6 and must be in a seperate FR after all. 2. I guess if they should be exploded we can enable the unpackWARs-annotation in the Context/Host-Configuration of the server.xml. My Suggestion: Create a new server.xml-attribute called: unpackJARResources (default: false). If true, all those jar-resources should be extracted to a matching folder at deploy-time. "Resources inside the META-INF/resources directory of JAR file must be considered only if the container has unpacked them from their containing JAR file when a call to getRealPath() is made, and in this case MUST return the unpacked location." (JSR315§3.6) If they are finally exploded, getRealPath() shoud return the exploded, well-formed os-specific file-location of the static content inside of the unpacked-jarresources-folder (as §3.6 suggest). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
