I have implemented the "all lowercase" filter solution, which does the job nicely. However, there is still one issue.. <jsp:forward>s don't go through the filter chain, so when the forward page contains uppercase characters, a file is created in the work dir with the uppercase character(s) in it. Then, when a normal request via the browser is done to the same forward page, Tomcat throws a NoClassDefFound exception because of a "wrong name" of the temp file.
As an example, we have two jsp's: - pageA.jsp (with a jsp:forward to pageB.jsp) - pageB.jsp Now, when we do this: - request pageA.jsp in the browser (two temp files are created in the work dir, pagea_jsp.class (lowercase 'a' because of the filter) and pageB_jsp.class) - request pageB.jsp in the browser -> NoClassDefFound exception because Tomcat is looking for pageb_jsp.class I think Leon's suggested mapper solution would solve this problem for the most part, but a mapper which is actually a complete file system tree seems rather disk/cpu intensive to me. Can anyone think of another solution for the <jsp:forward> problem in this case?
