Hi Kalpa,

Thanks for pointing it out.

AFAIU what we should do is searching for invalid # sequences such as "###".
Because a WAR names such as api#v1.0##1.war is accepted by our underlying
Tomcat and that approach is highly helpful when we want to indicate the
correct version number of a webapp without effecting the context.

WDYT?
