--- Comment #6 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- It was me that voiced concerns over this that led to the original commits being reverted. I've now found the time to come back to this. As far as the Servlet spec is concerned, JARs are located in WEB-INF/lib and those JARs are not checked to see if they contain nested JARs. However, the container is free to provide any mechanism it sees fit to augment the web application's class-path. Tomcat does this in a variety of ways but many of them boil down to providing a URL to a JAR to add to the class path. That URL can point to a JAR file within another JAR if you take advantage of the JarWarResourceSet (the outer JAR is treated as a WAR). Having had a chance to work through the implications of the proposed patch I'm happy that there are no issues. I'll get it re-applied. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
