With Tomcat 5.5 you can now define things like JDBC DataSources in META-INF/context.xml in your war files. JDBC DataSources need drivers, and obviously they can still be stored in common/lib, but given that they are defined, or rather their use is requested, through the war file, can the drivers also be put in the war file? The same question would then apply to other resources like beans etc.
Putting the files in the war would have the effect of making the application self contained, so would there be any downsides to allowing this if it is currently not allowed?
