http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39093 Summary: Tomcat messes up when a class has the same name as a package Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.16 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Servlet & JSP API AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've found something that appears to be a bug in TC 5.5.16 . After a small check, it however, also occured in TC 5.5.15, so it might even be older. Tomcat 4.0.6 (using JDK 1.4), however, did *not* have this problem. I've got the following class/package structure: 1: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor.EditButtons 2: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.Editor 3: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor2.EditButtons Note that packagename of the first class is equal to the fully qualified name of the second class (except for caps/nocaps). This should be no problem right?!? At least it never was until now. Now I have a JSP that simply does: <% nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor.EditButtons buttons = null; %> Eclipse has no problems with this JSP, and happily accepts it, why shouldn't it? Looks fine to me to :-) But Tomcat 5.5.16 gives me the following error: Generated servlet error: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor cannot be resolved to a type When I change my JSP to: <% nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor2.EditButtons buttons = null; %> Tomcat compiles the JSP without any problems. Note that the 2nd EditButtons class is an EXACT copy of the first. I've tried to reproduce the same issue with different class and package-names, but then it seems to work!?!? Anyway, I've attached a small ZIP which can be unpacked into the TC webapps dir, to try this out yourselves. It also contains the Java sources. Check out the remarks in index.jsp for more weirdness :-) The provided class files have been compiled using Eclipse 3.1.2 (so not the JDK compiler). I'm running TC on Java 1.5.0_06.
