I don't see any reason to do this. It won't make it any smaller, unless you compress the JAR - but if you are worried about space keep the WAR packed in the container and compressed and you won't gain anything from packing the classes.
You can still add a manifest to a WAR. I'd recommend against doing this. - Brett On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 15:03:04 +0200, Tomasz Pik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 08:53:45 -0400, Brill Pappin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'm sure some of us would prefer to keep the WEB-INF/classes dir, so my > > suggestion would be to include a switch property that would allow the > > user to use one or the other. > > Here's one reason: servlet specs define, that classes from WEB-INF/classes > are loaded before WEB-INF/lib so this may be used as some kind of 'overloading', > for example for classes from 'third party' libraries (I know it's ugly > but it's possible > due to spec). > > Regards, > Tomek > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
