Looks like the TldConfig class changed significantly between these versions such that now TLDs that are under WEB-INF/classes (e.g. WEB-INF/classes/META-INF) are no longer scanned/processed.
This is an issue for us in development as some of our MyEclipse projects are TLD library projects that in production will be in JARs in the WEB-INF/lib but in development get exploded into WEB-INF/classes. In 6.0.x this worked fine for us; 7.0.8 has removed this "feature". I realize that the reasoning behind this was to be more spec-compliant. My question is whether there is a Tomcat work-around to this to facilitate our development environment? I've been poking around the TC source code and as yet see no way to do this. I was even thinking of extending TldConfig to use a subclass as a lifecycle listener (turning off the context processTlds) but (as far as I've looked at this approach) the methods I'd want to override or call in TldConfig are private. :( Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Scott
