Description Chris Frost CLA 2013-01-11 05:28:37 EST
A user experienced some confusion when trying to setup their Snaps app, add the following to the docs.

"The host and all its snaps require all their own setup, it is wrong to force the setup of the host on to the snaps. The servlet contexts of the host and all the snaps are merged but that is a bit of a simplification. Each snap and the host are separate stand-alone web bundles but Snaps hooks in to the servlet contexts of all the snaps to allow resource lookups to propagate up to the host and to dispatch requests against the combined application to the appropriate snap via the host filter. So a snap will 'see' all the resources in the host such as files, tlds etc... but will not inherit any configuration of the servlet context. "
