[ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13067?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Bartosz Baranowski commented on WFLY-13067: ------------------------------------------- [https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13712/configurewebapp.htm#...] ?? However, the contents of the {{WEB-INF}} directory are visible to servlet code using the {{getResource}} and {{getResourceAsStream()}} method calls on the {{ServletContext}} or includes/forwards using the RequestDispatcher. ??   Servlet spec 4.0, section 4.6  ??The ServletContext interface provides direct access only to the hierarchy of static content documents that are part of the Web application, including HTML, GIF, and JPEG files, via the following methods of the ServletContext interface: 4-42 Java Servlet Specification • July 2017?? ?? ■ getResource ?? ??■ getResourceAsStream ??   ??The getResource and getResourceAsStream methods take a String with a leading “/” as an argument that gives the path of the resource relative to the root of the context or relative to the META-INF/resources directory of a JAR file inside the web application’s WEB-INF/lib directory. If there is a WEB-INF entry inside the META-INF/resources entry of a JAR file in WEB-INF/lib, then it and all child entries are available only as static resources. No classes or jars will be placed on the context classpath from such a WEB-INF entry, and no Servlet specific descriptors will be processed. These methods will first search the root of the web application context for the requested resource before looking at any of the JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory. The order in which the JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory are scanned is undefined. This hierarchy of documents may exist in the server’s file system, in a Web application archive file, on a remote server, or at some other location.??       -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.13.8#713008)
