Description

The libraries contained in a war WEB-INF/lib and classes in the WEB-INF/classes directories are not added to the configuration classloader. This has historically been a problem since this class loader is used to resolve ejb-refs. This means that war ejb-refs can only be used when deploying an ear and the interface classes are available from another module in the ear. We could simply add libs and classes to the configuration class loader, but it would make it impossible to isolate wars in the same configuration. This should be handled when we rewrite the JettyConfigurationBuilder to add JSR 77 objects.
