Priority: P2 Bug ID: 53783 Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Summary: Static resources and jsp files under WEB-INF/lib/*.jar!/META-INF/resources are not found Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified Reporter: violet...@apache.org Hardware: PC Status: NEW Version: 7.0.29 Component: Catalina Product: Tomcat 7 Created attachment 29283 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29283&action=edit Example Hi, According to Servlet Specification, Servlet container should serve static resources and jsp files, located in META-INF/resources in any jar file under WEB-INF/lib. " 10.5 Directory Structure A Web application exists as a structured hierarchy of directories. The root of this hierarchy serves as the document root for files that are part of the application. For example, for a Web application with the context path /catalog in a Web container, the index.html file at the base of the Web application hierarchy or in a JAR file inside WEB-INF/lib that includes the index.html under META-INF/resources directory can be served to satisfy a request from /catalog/index.html. If an index.html is present both in the root context and in the META-INF/resources directory of a JAR file in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the application, then the file that is available in the root context MUST be used. " When requesting such static resource/jsp file, Tomcat returns 404 Not Found. Example is attached. Request: http://localhost:8080/test-meta-inf-resources/test.jsp http://localhost:8080/test-meta-inf-resources/meta_inf_resource.jsp After investigating the issue I think that the problem is in the following code: org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig protected void processResourceJARs(Set<WebXml> fragments) { ... if (jar.entryExists("META-INF/resources/")) { context.addResourceJarUrl(url); ... } When I list the entries in jar, I receive: INFO: Deploying web application archive C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.29\webapps\test-met a-inf-resources.war META-INF/MANIFEST.MF META-INF/resources/meta_inf_resource.jsp There is no entry "META-INF/resources/" I would like to propose a patch (attached) with which the request URLs above are working as expected.
