[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - AbstractWARDeployer and unpacking jars

[adrian@jboss.org]

In AbstractWarDeployer there's some code that unpacks jars into the tmp directory.
This looks to be some limitation related to Tomcat not using the VFS from the comment

  |          /* Unpack wars to the tmp directory for now until tomcat can use the vfs directly. Since
  |           * the vfs deals with the distinction between a true directory, the only way we can tell from
  |           * this level of the api is to look for a url that ends in '/'. Here we assume that the name is
  |           * the root url.
  |           */
  | 

If we're going to do this properly, then the tmp directory files should be replacing 
the VFS urls in the classpath of the deployment.

However, I bet Tomcat has some abstraction that we can override
to tell it to use the VFS to load static resources?
