Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-1236:
---------------------------------------

It is legal to include non-deployment subdirectories under deployments/ as a means of organizing content for whatever purpose the user may have. If the scanner finds a directory whose name does not end in .ear, .jar, .rar, .sar or .war it assumes that directory is just for organizational purposes and will recurse into it looking for deployments. That is what is happening here. Unzipping an archive such that WEB-INF is a directory not under another directory named X.war is a user error.

The scanner can handle this a bit more gracefully by checking for a directory named WEB-INF or META-INF and if found logging a ERROR message and not recursing into it looking for deployments. I'll add that in response to this JIRA. If you unzip an ear this way though, you'll get an ERROR message about the META-INF dir, but it's going to go ahead and try and deploy the modules in the ear since they are not located under META-INF.

> Having an existing zipped up war file, and then unzipping it in the deployment directory, creates a lib directory that has a bunch of jar files in it.  It appears that these jar files in this lib directory are marked as .failed as they are tried to be deployed.
