_wl_cls_gen.jar artifact is missing some resources

Question

After deploying an Enterprise Application Archive (EAR) to Weblogic Server, for each WAR file contained in the EAR file, a <strong>wlcls_gen.jar</strong> artifact is generated in &lt;ORACLE_SERVER&gt;\user_projects\domains\&lt;DOMAIN_NAME&gt;\servers\&lt;SERVER_NAME&gt;\tmp\_WL_user\&lt;APP_NAME&gt;\mbo9wa\war\WEB-INF\lib folder.
This artifact contains the resources (.class , .xml , .properties , ...) that were originally located in the WEB-INF\classes of the WAR file that was deployed on the Weblogic server. During deployment, Weblogic Server moves the WEB-INF\classes resources into the generated WEB-INF\lib\_wl_cls_gen.jar file
The problem we're facing with this approach is the fact that we have a JSF application that uses Facelets as the view technology. Using facelets, the application streams tagsource files from the JAR file where the facelets configuration file is located. Unfortunately, these resources have the jspx extension.
It turns out that during the wlcls_gen.jar generation, all jspx files located in the WEB-INF\classes folder are ignored, in the sense that they are not added to the wlcls_gen.jar file, but kept at the WEB-INF\classes level. As Facelets tries to stream those resources from the JAR file, we get the following error :
javax.servlet.ServletException: /test.jspx @6,22 Facelet Not Found:
zip:C:/oracle10_3_server/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/app/mbo9wa/war/WEB-INF/<strong>lib/_wl_cls_gen.jar!/tagsource/resource/resource.jspx</strong>
The problem here is that the file is located in the classes folder, and not in the generated JAR file.
C:/oracle10_3_server/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/app/mbo9wa/war/WEB-INF/<strong>classes/tagsource/resource/resource.jspx</strong>
Is there any way to override this behavior, without us having to resort to changing the extension of those files (we use the jspx extension for code completion).
