Embedded tomcat 7 servlet 3.0 annotations not working

Question

I have a stripped down test project which contains a Servlet version 3.0, declared with annotations like so:

    @WebServlet(\"/test\")
public class TestServ         


        

Answer 1

I think in 8.5 and later it's just one liner:

Context.setAddWebinfClassesResources(true);

Sets the flag that indicates if /WEB-INF/classes should be treated like an exploded JAR and JAR resources made available as if they were in a JAR.
