Support adding web and WEB-INF resources with relative path of source
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SHRINKWRAP-318
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-318
             Project: ShrinkWrap
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: api
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-beta-5
            Reporter: Ian Brandt


I've noticed with WebArchives that {{addAsResource(String)}} preserves the relative path of the source.  E.g. {{addAsResource("some/file")}} is added to the archive as "WEB-INF/classes/some/file".  On the other hand {{addAsWebResource(String)}} and {{addAsWebInfResource(String)}} do not preserve the relative source path.

I have the webapp resources for my app under test copied to the test classpath relative from the web root.  Any time I have a WEB-INF resource under one or more subfolders I find that I have to do {{addAsWebInfResource("WEB-INF/jsp/path/to/some.jsp", "jsp/path/to/some.jsp")}} or {{addAsWebInfResource("WEB-INF/jsp/path/to/some.jsp", "WEB-INF/jsp/path/to/some.jsp")}}.  It would be preferable to just be able to say {{addAsWebResource("WEB-INF/jsp/path/to/some.jsp")}}, but when I do that the JSP is added to the archive as "some.jsp" at the web root.

I believe the API would be more intuitive if the {{addAs{_}X{_}(String{_}\[, ...\]{_})}} methods were consistent with regards to preserving the relative path of the source resource.  It would also be useful to have the option of preserving the source resource's path, or not.  Perhaps {{addAsResource(String)}} and {{addAsRelativeResource(String)}}, etc.?  Note however that I haven't considered the other {{add}} overloads ({{Asset}}, {{File}}, etc.) as I haven't used them yet.
