The difference between "unpacked classes" and "expanded JAR file" is whether there is a top-level folder outside plus a sibling META-INF folder beside the "unpacked classes", is it right? Then where else should I put an "expanded JAR file", except WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes? How to define the class path? I will be very appreciative if any of you could give me an example to illustrate the usage of "scanAllDirectories" and "expanded JAR file". Regards, Nan
