Application server specific extensions to the Servlet specification are a
really bad idea since they harm portability - the reason why we have a
specification in the first place. On that basis I almost closed this one as
WONTFIX.
However, I do see a valid use case and one that I suspect will lead to a change
in the spec. Some environments, particularly IDEs, unpack all their JARs into
the WEB-INF/classes directory. This would break static resources in JARs.
Enabling this option works around this issue.
Since this is a proprietary extension, it is disabled by default and controlled
by an attribute on the StandardContext but is not part of the Context
interface.
