           Summary: Enhance Supported TLD Scanning Locations with
                    WEB-INF/classes Support
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: 7.0.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: scott.hamil...@plateau.com


Prior to TC7.x, one could in their development environment use an exploded
deployment model for their java and web projects such that taglib library
projects that included TLD files in their classpath:META-INF folder would be
expanded into the WEB-INF/classes folder for testing on the servlet container.

In TC6 this worked because TC6 scanned this location along with the other
supported locations.

In TC7, stricter compliance to the JSP spec required TC to NOT scan this
location.

This enhancement request proposes to add a configuration option (in
context.xml?) to allow WEB-INF/classes to also be scanned as an exploded JAR.

The present workaround suggested by Mark Thomas works fine but requires one to
write additional code to customize Tomcat's behavior: write a JarScanner
implementation extending the default.
