Hi All,
I've just come to a problem using tomcat that is completely blocking my
development. I have a JSP in this directory:
\jsp\VarDep2\BR-brand-card\BR-smartcard-CardB\cardBenefits.jsp
My HTML developers are using Windows machines. When I generate the .class
file from compiling the JSP I get this:
D:\jasondev\Jakarta\tomcat322\
work\localhost_8080%2Fbap\jsp\VarDep_00032\BR_0002dbrand_0002dcard\
BR_0002dsmartcard_0002dCardB\_0002fjsp_0002fVarDep_00032_0002fBR_0002dbrand_0002dcard_0002fBR_0002dsmartcard_0002dCardB_0002fcardBenefits_0002ejspcardBenefits_jsp_0.class
Which appears to be breaking the 256 character file name limit under windows. The
directory structure is very important in my design, and
cannot be changed without destroying the value of my software. Plus, since we're
going to production in Solaris, it's only an issue for the
Windows people. I need this fixed in order to support them, so I'm going to try and
open up Tomcat to fix it my self.
I'm hoping that some of you can provide a list of places that I'll need to change
things. I understand that this is no small undertaking,
but putting the whole directory structure into the name can't be that great a thing to
do anyway. (Anybody know why it's being done this
way?)
I really need all the help I can get. Any suggestions (Even suggestions of a good
shrink) are appreciated.
Jason
