When I deploy a war file with digital file name, ctxPath went wrong, WHY?

[anson.an]

Hi,  all

I am a newer about JBoss. And I used JBoss 4.2.3 GA

I have deloy a war named 01.war application to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/

When I started JBoss, I found that the context path of 01.war turned to:

[TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/, warUrl=.../deploy/01.war/

Then I have rename war filename to 01forum.war, and restarted JBoss, JBoss log showed:

[TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/forum, warUrl=.../deploy/01forum.war/

Open my web browser, type URL: http://localhost/forum , the page could be showed correctly.

But when change the URL to http://localhost/01forum , there was a 404 error.

It seams that JBoss will cut the prefix digit in war file name, this is a BUG OR JBOSS SPEC?

Could anyone told me the truth !!
