--- Comment #1 from Remy Maucherat <re...@apache.org> ---
Given this and other posts in the user list, I think there's an issue with the
URL resolution that was added.

Trying to have a full implementation may lead up to the Tomcat 7 resources
complexity it seems (except without JNDI and the custom protocol, but this
strategy had its own benefits if you want a full implementation that worked in
all cases), because next time we'll have someone asking "oh and if I do
servletContext.getResource("/WEB-INF/dir/").toString() + "/myPath" I have an
inconsistent result", which is basically what people spent months spamming me
about during the Tomcat 5 days. Maybe the URL stream handler should be reverted
and the JSP recompilation "issue" (a 100% brain dead use case) and other
similar possible inconsistencies should be documented as wontfix instead of
venturing again into that nest of spiders.
