Servlets in a JAR file in the lib directory of a WAR file

Is it valid to place servlets in a JAR file, and place them in the lib
directory (in WEB-INF dir of WAR file)?

Thanks,
J

Sure.  The same is true for non-servlet classes.  Just be sure you put the
JAR files exactly in the /WEB-INF/lib directory -- subdirectories
underneath /WEB-INF/lib are *not* scanned.
