session not working when dash or underscore in application name
Hi,
I just installed Tomcat 7.0.32 on Debian Linux 6 (Squeeze). Client is
Mozilla Firefox 12.0, also on Debian Linux 6.
To test session behavior, I did a simple JSP page that simulates a coin
launch (heads or tales), and displays the total of heads and total of tails.
If my war file is called headsOrTails.war, it works just fine :
http://tomcat:8080/headsOrTails/
but if there are dashes or underscores in the name, Tomcat creates a new
session for each page request (so I can't get the totals)
http://tomcat:8080/heads-or-tails/
http://tomcat:8080/heads_or_tails/
is this a normal behavior ?
thanks

There are a number of TC variables that are acquired from the FileSystem during webapp initialiasation..
unfortunately when File systems assign folder name they vary widely in their treatment of 'special characters' in filenames
as a test ..install Tomcat to Tomcat off of root folder then place webapps off of Tomcat then install one webapp heads-or-tails
so in your mind your filesystem *should* look like
/Tomcat/webapps/heads-or-tails But NTFS File System creates an 8 character filename that it assigns as directory folder so instead of heads-or-tails folder you'll get
/Tomcat/webapps/HEADS-~1 Not inserting spaces, dashes (or anything besides a-z,0-9,A-Z) into folder-name is always a safe deployment strategy
Bon Chance,
Martin Gainty

Thanks, maybe the problem has been solved in 7.0.34, I'll try that
version later
in the meantime I simply removed all dashes and underscores, and
everything works fine

I do not experience the behavior you describe on 7.0.34.
Neither dashes nor underscores anywhere in the path of the JSP seem to
have that effect: a single session is created when I try it.
Perhaps something else is affecting your environment?
