Okay, I got impatient since I couldn't find any matching bug in the
database and filed bug 52511
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52511>.

Clearly the lack of /WEB-INF/classes is not worthy of an exception,
nor an error.

If one's web-app does not contain WEB-INF/classes, Tomcat 7.0.25 logs

This has never been considered an error in any Tomcat to date that I
am aware of -- nor any other servlet engine I've tried.
This appears to be an accident as ContextConfig had:
webinfClasses =
context.getServletContext().getResource(
"/WEB-INF/classes");
processAnnotationsUrl(webinfClasses, webXml);
and now has
NamingEnumeration<Binding> listBindings =
context.getResources().listBindings("/WEB-INF/classes");
while (listBindings.hasMoreElements()) {
Binding binding =
listBindings.nextElement();
if (binding.getObject() instanceof
FileDirContext) {
File webInfCLassDir =
new File(
((FileDirContext)
binding.getObject()).getDocBase());
processAnnotationsFile(webInfCLassDir, webXml);
}
}
which is all well and good except for the differences in behavior
when /WEB-INF/classes is not found.
Is there a bug and/or patch for this?
If not I can file a bug -- and hack my own patch, I suppose, though
I'd appreciate a stab at a patch by someone who is actually familiar
with this code (which I am not).
