Jeff Wexler closed JBIDE-4469.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Deferred


I am going to test this more first.

>                 Key: JBIDE-4469
>                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4469
>             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
>          Issue Type: Feature Request
>          Components: JBossAS, Seam
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.1.GA
>         Environment: Seam 2.1.2.GA. JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA. Eclipse 3.4.2 Build Id: M20090211-1700. JBoss Tools 3.0.1.GA. Windows 2003 Server native Japanese version. Postgresql 8.3.7
>            Reporter: Jeff Wexler
>            Priority: Minor
>
> On Windows Server 2003, using a project name with a period often causes issues.
> For example, to easily illustrate:
> Jboss AS stopped.
> ant explode booking example (using ds configured to Postgresql in my case).
> Rename ear to com.mysite.ear
> Rename jar to com.mysite.jar
> Rename war to com.mysite.war
> Update application.xml with the changes.
> Change com.mysite.war\WEB-INF\components.xml such that  jndi-pattern changed to "com.mysite/#{ejbName}/local"
> Change com.mysite.jar\META-INF\persistence.xml such that jta-data-source changed to java:/com.mysiteDatasource
> Rename jboss-seam-booking-ds.xml to com.mysite-ds.xml
> Change com.mysite-ds.xml such that jndi-name changed to com.mysiteDatasource
> Then start Jboss default server, get deploy errors.
> Stop JBoss AS.
> Then make all the above changes but without the period in the file names and values such that commysite is used instead.
> Then start JBoss AS, it works.
> If stop JBoss AS, and change them all back to with the period again such that com.mysite again. Then will not work.
> If change back to commysite again without the period works again.
> I've verified this several times in somewhat amazement.
> Note: I just attempted again with the period and this time it worked. Strange.
> I say somewhat because period in folder names within c:\Inetpub\wwwroot also causes issues with IIS and thus is clearly a Microsoft problem.
> If initially create a seam web project using JBoss tools with a period, it WILL work. However, after starting to use the project and make changes (i.e., simple stuff which should not cause issues), re-build, etc. eventually, get the strange errors as in the case above.
> I recomend some kind of warning or other message or means to warn users using Windows to avoid including periods in the project names. It would save some people a lot of wasted time.  I would also suggest adding a comment in an appropriate location in the related reference documents (Seam Tools and perhaps Seam Reference doc).
