Is WEB-INF in the CLASSPATH?

Is the WEB-INF folder in the CLASSPATH of a Java Web application?

Solution

  • I'm assuming you're referring to the /WEB-INF directory in the root of the web application folder structure.

    No, it's not in the classpath.

    /WEB-INF/classes is on the classpath though, and so are the JAR files in /WEB-INF/lib.
