That's overly simplified.  Unlike the classpath for a normal console
application, the directory structure of a webapp has special meanings.
See SRV.9.5 in the Servlet Spec, which tells you what to put in
WEB-INF/classes and what to put in WEB-INF/lib.  If you put jars in
WEB-INF/classes, you're at best in questionable territory.  If you open
a Bugzilla issue for this, don't be surprised to see it closed as
invalid or just left unattended.
