[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-3954) Cannot compile jsp on Windows with reference to a class in WEB-INF/classes of the same name but difference case as a package name

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3954?page=all ]

Remy Maucherat resolved JBAS-3954.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

The issue is old, cleaning up. Normally Java is case sensitive, so although it could work with some compilers and classloaders on certain OSes, I don't think this is a valid behavior to expect.

> If UseJBossWebLoader is true in jbossweb-tomca55.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml
> And there is a class in a war's WEB-INF/classes that has a classname identical to a package name except that the cases are different
> And there is a jsp which references this class
> And this war is deployed on Windows
> And the war is deployed as an extracted directory
> Then the jsp causes error on Compile such as:
