Wrong. If WEB-INF/classes/META-INF exists and scanAllDirectories is set, the contents of WEB-INF/classes will be treated as an expanded JAR. > The difference between "unpacked classes" and > "expanded JAR file" is whether there is a top-level folder outside plus a > sibling META-INF folder beside the "unpacked classes", is it right? Wrong again. See above. > Then where else should I put an "expanded JAR file", except WEB-INF/lib > and WEB-INF/classes? "should" depends on what you are trying to achieve - something you haven't yet explained. > How to define the class path? Generally you don't. Explicitly changing the class path is usually a sign you are doing something wrong.
