I couldn't wait until tonight.

I been able to make it works, but I had to change a little code. (now I'm
pretty sure that something missing in the ClassLoader).

here what I changed : (call the older classloader instead for this test)

public void deployWar(
            String location, String context, URLClassLoader serverLibLoader,
WebApp defaultWebApp) throws DeployException {
        String ctx = context;
        if (ctx == null) {
            ctx = getContext(location);
            int i = ctx.lastIndexOf('.');
            if (i > 0) {
                ctx = ctx.substring(0, i);
            }
        }
        Map.Entry<String, URLClassLoader> loaderEntry = null;
        try {
            loaderEntry = explodeAndCreateWebAppClassLoader(location,
serverLibLoader);
        } catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        WarDeploymentConfiguration config = new
WarDeploymentConfiguration(ctx, loaderEntry.getValue(), defaultWebApp);
        if (logger.isLoggable(Level.FINER)) {
            logger.log(Level.FINER, String.format("Configuration for
deployment: %s.", config));
        }
        deployer.deploy(ws, new File(location).toURI(), config);
    }


and spring found the files.


Do you want me to go deeper ? (into the code :0 )
