SPAR sounds cool ;-)

So the structure of the unit would look like this:

/META-INF/
    applicationContext.xml (or spring.xml)
/APP-INF/
    lib/
    commons-logging.jar
    someOtherRequiredJar.jar
    applicationClasses.jar
/WEB-INF/?
     html resources?
     jsp?
     lib/
        some.properties?
         other servlet classpath resources?
