JBoss does. If unwrapped or "exploded" deployments cannot be supported in lib then a reasonable error rather than the venerable ClassCastException would be at least humane :-) Hi, BTW! -Andy :-)

Embedded unwrapped deployments fail with opaque error when in WEB-INF/lib ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-4965 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4965 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.1.GA Environment: Windows Vista, JDK 1.5.0_12, JBoss Portal 2.6.1, JBoss Application Server 4.2.1GA Reporter: Andrew Oliver Assigned To: Remy Maucherat Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.CR2 Create a war file with any servlet or portlet in it.
