classloading resource in a webapp

Hi Folks,
It appears that if a resource(in my case a executable script) present in
the WEB-INF/lib/xyz.jar is loaded
a runtime it(and other resources) actually gets unpacked in
domain-name/generated/jsp/j2ee-modules/app-name/loader
And that's the location from where the resource gets picked up as
opposed to from WEB-INF/lib/xyz.jar

This is causing issues from me as the resource is expecting to be in the
archived form when executed.
Where can I get more details about the 'exploding and then loading
resources' feature like
how does it work/can it be turned off/why its done that way etc.

Thanks
Ashish
