**[Jimmy Praet](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=jpraet)** commented These artifacts have type "xsd" or "wsdl", but are packaged as zip files. components.xml ``` ... <component> <role>org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler</role> <role-hint>wsdl</role-hint> <implementation>org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.DefaultArtifactHandler</implementation> <configuration> <type>wsdl</type> <extension>zip</extension> <language>java</language> <addedToClasspath>true</addedToClasspath> </configuration> </component> ... ``` But you make a very good point as it turns out that the servlet spec only talks about jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory. I just tested it and indeed, it doesn't work even when I put these zip files manually in the WEB-INF/lib folder. However, if I were to change the components.xml to package these artifacts as jar, then the maven-war-plugin will still not copy them to the WEB-INF/lib. That's because it checks the artifact type, not the file extension. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
