I updated Tomcat 4 which has the new code that allows running directly
from a WAR file.  A few comments about this.

I will refer to the 'examples' context in my comments.

The directory 'work/localhost/examples/classes is created for
the contents of 'webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes.

First, what if there were a directory named 'webapps/examples/classes'
which contained JSP pages, wouldn't this conflict with where you put
the WEB-INF classes?  Wouldn't it be better to put them
in work/localhost/examples/WEB-INF/classes ?

Second, if a WAR is already unarchived in the webapp directory,
i.e. both examples.war and examples/ exists, why is the 
'work/localhost/examples/classes' directory created?

Which takes precedence, the shadowed war file in work/localhost/examples ?
or the unarchived copy in webapps/examples?

What is the expected behaviour of this feature if you drop a war file in
a webapp directory?  What if you update a war file?

Regards,

Glenn
