Use case : Chapter Ordering in https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/resources.html `Since both resources are PostResources, it might be expected that D:\Projects\external\classes will be searched for classes before D:\Projects\lib\library1.jar. However, by adding the JAR using a FileResourceSet, the JAR is mapped to /WEB-INF/lib and will be processed at application start along with the other JARs in /WEB-INF/lib. The classes from the JAR file will be added to the ClassResources which means they will be searched before the classes from D:\Projects\external\classes. If the desired behaviour is that D:\Projects\external\classes is searched before D:\Projects\lib\library1.jar then a slightly different configuration is required: <Resources> <PostResources base="D:\Projects\external\classes" className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/classes"/> <PostResources base="D:\Projects\lib\library1.jar" className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/classes"/> </Resources> In short, the JAR file should be added as a JarResourceSet mapped to /WEB-INF/classes rather than using a FileResourceSet mapped to /WEB-INF/lib.`
