When deploying a compressed Archive on Tomcat, WebAppBeanDeploymentArchive.scan fails to find and classes.

In WebAppBeanDeploymentArchive.scan we try to get the File object representation of the WEB-INF/classes directory so we can recursively scan for classes, but in Tomcat this is a URL to jndi backed by a DirContext.

WebAppBeanDeploymentArchive.scan
{ // inside scan
File webInfClasses = Servlets.getRealFile(servletContext, WEB_INF_CLASSES);

{ // inside getRealFile String realPath = servletContext.getRealPath(path); realPath == null URL resourcePath = servletContext.getResource(path); resourcePath == jndi:/localhost/test/WEB-INF/classes }

webInfClasses == null
}

End result is no classes are found.
