Thanks both for sharing, fascinating. I certainly have both unpackWAR
set as well as the jar scanning exceptions (the latter which seems a
bit brittlee as it includes the exact vesion numbers of all jars,
i.e., you'd need to redo this on every update; I also tried '*' with
no disceranble difference).

# cat /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/idp.xml
<Context docBase="/opt/shibboleth-idp/war/idp.war"
  privileged="true"
  antiResourceLocking="false"
  swallowOutput="true"
  unpackWAR="true"
  cookies="false">
  <Resource name="jdbc/dblite" description="Some JDBC resource" .../>
</Context>

The machine may certainly be slow (virtual machine in an academic
cloud/IaaS; possibly heavily overprovisioned, 2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 2GB
given to the JVM).
I'll be setting up another one in a different environment soonish,
will see how that compares.
