Scanning for annotations (and various other bits and pieces) is controlled by the JarScanner component. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/jar-scanner.html You might need to set scanBootstrapClassPath="true" depending on exactly how your far JAR is packaged / structured. Another option is to use logEffectiveWebXml on the Context to create the equivalent web.xml and then use that.
