Found it. Test case was slightly wrong. Try the test case below. You should
see a difference between Windows and NetWare.
This does indeed look like a JVM bug that has been exposed by stricter
checking in the newer versions of Ant.
Options for a work-around are:
- Try a later JVM. If the test case below works - you should be OK.
- Use an older version of Ant. Ant was upgraded to keep up to date rather
than for a specific big fix so again, you should be OK.
- Patch Tomcat. You'll need to add a few getCanonicalPath() calls.
We could patch Tomcat but generally I am against patching to work around
someone else's bug unless we absolutely have to.
As an aside, the Tomcat 4 install with NetWare 6.5 SP7 is a complete mess.
There are multiple versions of the same libraries present and if you try
enabling the http connector it fails with a NoSuchMethod exception. A
little digging showed that the connector jars are from multiple versions of
Tomcat 4 and are not compatible with each other.
If you do want to use Tomcat on NetWare then you will probably need to
install a fresh version from Apache rather than trying to use the NetWare one.
Cheers,
