Case insensitive path attributes of ?

[Steinar Bang <sb...@dod.no>]

Platform: Intel PIII, RedHat 7.2, BlackDown JDK 1.3.1, apache 1.3.20,
          tomcat 3.3, Struts 1.0

Is it possible to make the Struts ActionServlet class treat the path
attributes of <action> elements in the struts-config.xml file, as case
insensitive?

Thanx!

OK.  It was a long shot anyway, and I didn't find anything in the
docs.

Yes, I know.  But that wouldn't matter in my case, because it is only
the actual abs_path of the URL that would have needed to be case
insensitive.

I am.

I was just trying to work around a thoroughly broken embedded browser
that 
 1. doesn't follow a 302 redirect (irrelevant for this problem)
 2. lowercases everything in the abs_path part of the URL, resulting in
    404 instead of 200 responses (relevant for this problem)

I guess this serves us right for using mixed case in the path
attributes...? :-/

Hm... but there isn't much that needs to be changed to make them all
lowercase, is there?  Just the struts-config.xml file, and then
perhaps change the entry URLs into the webapp?

No.  And even if you could, the servlet container is going to be case
sensitive anyway, as is the Java compiler, the filesystem (since you're
talking about Linux), and basically every other aspect of your system.

The best thing to do is get used to case sensitivity.
