Hi all, I would like to get some attention on some older SO-question[1] about where to place SPI-service files of Java.
Following the docs, those should be placed in META-INF at the top level of some JAR and webapps designed to be used with Tomcat provide such a folder. But it seems to be ignored during search for SPI-service files, instead those seem to be assumed in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/services. The can easily be seen e.g. using Process Monitor in Windows. As the SO-question lacks some official Tomcat-documentation or such, I am asking here: What is the correct place for such service files? Can this be configured somehow? Why is META-INF at the top level ignored? Is it used at all for anything or only WEB-INF/classes/META-INF for anything which is normally assumed to be in META-INF itself? Thanks!
