Hi,
Just a quick question as I am doing some research.
I cannot remember (and my google searches are just turning up far far too
much noize) whether it is possible to server content directly from jars on
the classpath rather than only from the wars.
I'm thinking of a case where you might have a plugin mechanism, or a core
functionality and you want to be able to merge that into your web
application without expanding the jar file as a war overlay.
I cannot recall if I only dreamt reading that you could do the following, or
if you actually can.
Jar would look something like:
/
com
somecompany
...
META-INF
faces-config.xml
content
plugin.xhtml
And then if the webapp had that jar on the classpath, a request for
/contextRoot/plugin.xhtml would server the content from the jar file and not
bomb out because the file does not exist in the war file itself.
