Description

When deploying an application in a tomcat docker image, the application is typically installed in "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps".

 

The application libs will typically be located in "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib".

The "/tomcat" entry in the exclusion path results in all the application beans getting ignored if the jar files don't have the "META-INF/beans.xml" (which isn't required in the default setup).

 

I propose changing "/tomcat" to "/tomcat/lib" to avoid this overreaching optimization.
