I had an earlier thread where I asked some questions about tomcat
startup times. Essentially, by disabling the annotation checking thing,
I was able to get my startup time from 700 seconds down to around 30
seconds.
Today I was doing some changes, and I moved a jar from the
${catalina.base}/lib directory to the context/WEB-INF/lib directory.
After I did the move, I "touched" the context jar file to force a
context reload.
Imagine my surprise when there was an error message:
"Failed to process JAR found at URL [jar:file:/srv/tomcat/lib/xxxx] for
static resources to be included in context with name ...."
So what I think I'm seeing here is that not only does my web apps jar
files get scanned when the context is deployed, but every jar in all of
the class loader hierarchies are getting scanned as well.
Is that by design?
