Thanks - a custom JarScanner did the trick. I'll do the bugzilla submission soon too.

Actually, the reasoning was: a) make TLD scanning consistent between Catalina & Jasper b) provide the extension points required by the Virgo project for OSGI RFC66 > My question is whether there is a Tomcat work-around to this to facilitate > our development environment?

See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/jar-scanner.html Implementing your own JarScanner that additionally scans WEB-INF/classes should do the trick in the short-term. If you open a Bugzilla issue, I'll look into providing a configuration option that allows WEB-INF classes to be treated like an exploded JAR file.
