Tomcat 5.5.9 Case-Sensitivity

[panuv]

In JBOSS 4.0.2 / Tomcat 5.5.9 case-insensitivity no longer seems to work.

Our application breaks down on HTML pages with wrongly cased URLs on them - and there's many of them, since so far we've been happily case-insensitive.

I have the following:

<Context path="" docBase="./deploy">
 <Resources caseSensitive = "false" />
</Context>

in the file:

server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\server.xml

and this used to do the trick on JBOSS 4.0.1, but no longer.

Any ideas on what could be done about it would be greatly appreciated. Should I use an earlier version of Tomcat with JBOSS 4.0.2 perhaps ?

Thanks

It may appear that JBoss 4.2 no longer supports 'global' context settings

Therefore you must specifically set context within your deployment descriptors' directory

ex: /WEB-INF/context.xml

Thus the correct statement should be:

<Context path=""
docBase="./deploy"
crossContext="true"
reloadable="true"
caseSensitive = "false" debug="1"


Hope that helps :)

Interesting ...
Could you or someone else provide us with a link to documentation where this is explained.

Thanks
