DO NOT REPLY [Bug 41260] [Contribution] WebAppLoader and DirContext implementations for handling with expanded webapp during development

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41260





--- Comment #6 from quartz <qu...@yahoo.com>  2008-12-22 07:24:04 PST ---
This is quite incomplete:

a) can one can set a jars folder? This is unclear. One would have to set ALL
jars 1 by 1 manually, instead of pointing to a dir other than web-inf/lib where
the jars are discovered. Maybe it is supported but not indicated.

b) are the path elements are absolute or relative to the docbase?

c) the paths given ARE NOT overriding the content of web-inf/lib jars. This
makes the added feature useless in the context of debugging/patching a .war or
a .jar in the regular classpath. We need a kind of "prepend" to override the
.war, (or any of web-inf/classes and web-inf/lib/*.jar).


Note: According to the javadoc, the
org.apache.naming.resources.VirtualDirContext is only required if you need .tld
to be loaded externally too.
