Class loader resources have special handling. I think you'll be able to
get this to work with:
standardRoot.createWebResourceSet(CLASSES_JAR, "/WEB-INF/classes",
new File("target/classes").getAbsolutePath(), null, "/");
If that doesn't work, I'd recommend using a debugger to figure out what
is going on. It wouldn't surprise me to find we need to extend the API
as more use cases emerge.
