Support Patch - EAP 5.2 - Jars not containing directory entries are not properly reinitialized by VFS

PATCH NAME:          JBPAPP-10646 PRODUCT NAME:         JBoss Enterprise Application Platform VERSION:         5.2 SHORT DESCRIPTION:        If a jar that does not contain directory entries (perhaps it was created with zip -D or --no-dir-entries) is reinitialized by VFS and an attempt is made to access a directory, an exception is thrown. LONG DESCRIPTION:         VFS reinitialization of a jar may occur if the jar is in a directory that is not itself a permanent root or a child of a permanent root (defined in $JBOSS_HOME/server/$CONFIG/conf/bootstrap/vfs.xml). If an attempt is then made to access a directory within the jar that does not contain directory entries, and exception is thrown stating the entry does not exist. This often is seen instigated by facelets code scanning the classpath, in particular after JBossWS-CXF has been installed as that product contains spring-core.jar and asm.jar, both of which do not contain directory entries.
