Re: [jetty-users] What are the semantics of WebAppContext.setExtraClassp

Hi,

The order of class loading is still not clear. Is is correct to assume that whatever paths we specify in WebAppContent.setExtraClasspath(), they will get priority over WEB-INF/lib of the webapp. Also, is it the correct use case for this API.
