  • JSP filename case problem (Tomcat 5.5.16/Mac 10.4.6)

    I installed Tomcat 5.5.16 on a new G5 running OS/X 10.4.6). I then
    installed a webapp that runs successfully on Windows and Sun Solaris.
    I have a jsp file named personalPage.jsp. Jasper converts this file to
    a servlet called personalpage_jsp.java, which gets compiled into personalpage_jsp.class. The case change breaks URLs that use
    personalPage.jsp.

    I'm not a real Mac guy, I just play one at work. I assume the problem
    is somehow associated with filename case handling under an HFS+
    filesystem.

    Is there a way to fix this problem short of converting to a UFS
    filesystem?

    I solved this problem. It's not really related to Tomcat. When I
    moved my webapp to the Mac, I tarred it up on a Sun box. Long story
    short, there were a few cases where there were two files with similar
    names except for case, .e.g., mangepages.jsp and managePages.jsp. When
    I extracted the tar file, the file system allowed only one of these
    names.
