             Summary: Allow for adding dirs/files to webapp classpath
                 Key: MTOMCAT-246
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-246
             Project: Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tomcat7
            Reporter: Ondrej Burkert
            Assignee: Olivier Lamy (*$^¨%`£)

We have projects developed using Spring. Every project has a set of 
configuration files (usually just logback configuration XML and a property 
file). They are placed on the classpath and loaded from there by Spring app 
context.

I don't see any way to put these on the classpath with current (we try 2.1 at 
the moment) version of the plugin. Adding it using the additionalClasspathDirs 
does not work as that is apparently Tomcat's not application's classpath. It 
fails with FileNotFound exception. We place these in the tomcat/lib folder for 
regular deployments.

Any workaround or preferably solution for the problem would be highly 
appreciated. There are couple unanswered questions in this direction on 
stackoverflow as well.
