Description Stefan Wachter 2007-07-20 09:32:19 UTC
Hi all,

I had servlet-mappings that contain plus signs (they were created by JspC), e.g.:

    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.suchergebnis_005fbu_002bbb_jsp</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/suchergebnis_bu+bb.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

This mapping does not work (the referred class is present)! When I change the
original file names of the JSPs such that the plus signs are replaced by a minus
signs the following mapping results:

    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.suchergebnis_005fbu_002dbb_jsp</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/suchergebnis_bu-bb.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Now the mapping works.

Therefore I assume that there is a bug in handling servlet mappings with plus
signs in their url pattern.

This has been fixed in svn for 5.5.x and 6.0.x and will be included in the next
release of each.
