Janne Jalkanen commented on JSPWIKI-465:
----------------------------------------
Incorrect. It *is* completely according to the package naming conventions -
only the first component of the package name needs to be in lower case. Check
out the Java specification...
It's just not commonly done, which is why it is looking strange.
It would allow us to keep the package naming structure intact, not interfere
with deployment, allow us to keep the JSPWiki name, at the cost of looking
strange.
It may well be the least-invasive option.

> Key: JSPWIKI-465
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-465
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Servlet Container/Java compatibility
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: JSPWiki 3.0.0-svn-41
> Reporter: Harry Metske
> Assignee: Harry Metske
>
> JSPWiki is an incubating project in ASF, one of the required steps here is to
> move the java package naming from com.ecyrd.jspwiki to org.apache.jspwiki.
> After moving several classes to this new package we are seeing
> NoClassDeffoundErrors when classes are imported from JSP's
> "Normal" servlets/classes work fine.
> After digging for a couple of days we found that the problem is caused by a
> bug in the JasperLoader classloader:
> http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/jasper/tc6.0.x/src/share/org/apache/jasper/servlet/JasperLoader.java?view=markup
> The following code snippet shows the failure :
> {noformat}
> if( !name.startsWith(Constants.JSP_PACKAGE_NAME) ) {
> // Class is not in org.apache.jsp, therefore, have our
> // parent load it
> clazz = parent.loadClass(name);
> if( resolve )
> resolveClass(clazz);
> return clazz;
> }
> {noformat}
> The constant Constants.JSP_PACKAGE_NAME is loaded as follows:
> {noformat}
> /**
> * The default package name for compiled jsp pages.
> */
> public static final String JSP_PACKAGE_NAME =
> System.getProperty("org.apache.jasper.Constants.JSP_PACKAGE_NAME",
> "org.apache.jsp");
> {noformat}
> Note the missing trailing dot !
> So there is a workaround by specifying the Java System Property
> org.apache.jasper.Constants.TAG_FILE_PACKAGE_NAME=org.apache.somethingelse
> However, this workaround is only available since revision 441109 of Tomcat 6.
