Bug ID: 60333 Summary: inconsistency in folder name from webapps to work folder Product: Tomcat 8 Version: 8.5.x-trunk Hardware: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Connectors Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: prahalad.prabha...@sap.com Target Milestone: ---- Hi, When we deploy a web application which has a "#" symbol in its name (eg . SAPBI#BOE ) in the webapps folder , until tomcat 7.0.67 , it would automatically replace the "#" symbol with the "_" symbol (ie SAPBI_BOE) in the work folder. Also while accessing the URL as <localhost>:<port>/SAPBI/BOE it would successfully be mapped to the SAPBI_BOE folder in work directory. However the same isn't being observed from Tomcat 8. In all the newer versions of Tomcat (ie. 8 onwards and even on 9 ) the webapps and work direcotry have the same name. This is causing our application deployment to Fail. However , if we rename the same web application as SAPBI_BOE in the webapps folder , it creates the same folder in work and it is accessible via the URL : <localhost>:<port>/SAPBI_BOE. Attaching a sample war file for reference. Kindly copy the same to webapps folder and restart tomcat 8.0.1 and above. Thanks, Prahalad.
