Project blocking problem
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

The version of jasper used in Tomcat 4 already solves this problem
by breaking out the jsp generated java source and class files by directory.

Here is a thought,
since it is the work dir created by tomcat that break things, why not
use jspc to build a jar of all your classes, and a servlet mapping file.
i think this process is described in the docs for jspc. hans bergstens
jsp book on oreilly also describe it.
i dont know if this is any help, but it was just a thought.
