    - #### validateApplication

          public static boolean validateApplication(DirContext dirContext,
                                    Context context)
                                             throws IOException

      Runtime validation of a Web Application. This method uses JNDI to look up the resources located under a `DirContext`. It locates Web Application MANIFEST.MF file in the /META-INF/ directory of the application and all MANIFEST.MF files in each JAR file located in the WEB-INF/lib directory and creates an `ArrayList` of `ManifestResource` objects. These objects are then passed to the validateManifestResources method for validation.
      Parameters:
        `dirContext` - The JNDI root of the Web Application
        `context` - The context from which the Logger and path to the application
      Returns:
        true if all required extensions satisfied
      Throws:
        `IOException` - Error reading resources needed for validation

    - #### addSystemResource

          public static void addSystemResource(File jarFile)
                                        throws IOException

      Checks to see if the given system JAR file contains a MANIFEST, and adds it to the container's manifest resources.
      Parameters:
        `jarFile` - The system JAR whose manifest to add
      Throws:
        `IOException` - Error reading JAR file
