[seam-dev] Issue resolved with JBoss AS 7 CR1 and Seam Social

[Mark Struberg]

Jaikiran, _why_ should WEB-INF/classes/META-INF be an invalid directory? 

WEB-INF/classes is definitely a valid class filepath. Thus a META-INF inside is valid. This works in every spec and on every EE server I know.

LieGrue,
