Eric Sirianni commented on JBAS-7832:
-------------------------------------

This fix/workaround doesn't seem to work properly for overlays that are in JAR files in {{WEB-INF/lib}}.  The semantics of {{VirtualFile.getPhysicalFile()}} don't seem appropriate for use here.  

I've traced through the code to confirm this.  For example, for a {{META-INF/resources dir embedded in WEB-INF/lib/foo.jar}}, the {{overlay.getPhysicalFile()}} call will create a new directory in {{/tmp/vfs/automount.../foo.jar/contents/META-INF/resources}}.  However, it does not actually recursively copy the contents of that directory from foo.jar into the physical directory.  So the contents of the "overlay" are not actually available as resources to the servlet.

Can this be addressed?

> Following the update to VFS 3, VFSDirContext exhibits weird behavior, although it is partially working. Workaround using a regular FileDirContext.
