Hi! In our application we have classes packaged in jars. When we make changes to those classes during development, they are compiled into WEB-INF/classes, making them override the ones in the jars because WEB-INF/classes is read first by the classloader. This is a convenient way of developing for us.
But: The ClassNameLocator does not take this into account. So it finds 2 classes with the same name, one from the jar and one from WEB-INF/classes. Is this the desired behaviour? As you can see from the link, this causes problems for me when using a component from spreadthesource. http://spreadthesource.com/2010/07/christophe-as-an-apache-tapestry-5-committer/#comments
