Thanks for verifying that, this also explains a couple of other issues we have seen similar to this. With respect to error/warn about this then in this specific case it is clearly TPTP that is doing things wrong changing a global setting like this that normally should be set by the user - and in that case the user would have set it and then that might be his intention. With respect to emitting a warning then that is tricky since we deploy incrementally meaning we can't really know when and what to validate...but I guess some level of checks could be added when a deploy has finished BUT the problem is that in JEE6 descriptors is not a requirement PLUS if the resource filter is in place we will never even know the file is there...
