> Application classloader looks in WAR's WEB-INF/lib before WEB-INF/classes.
> This is in violation of servlet 2.4 (and 2.3) specification, 9.5 Directory
> Structure, which states:
> "TheWeb application class loader must load classes from the WEB-INF/ classes
> directory first, and then from library JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory."
> This behaviour prevents web application from overriding classes and resources
> from included libraries.
