We regulary receive bug reports that this task is creating the WEB-INF
directory, and thus it is our fault your webapp doesn't work. The cause of
these complaints lies in WinZip, which turns an all upper-case directory
into an all lower case one in a fit of helpfulness. Please check that jar
xvf yourwebapp.war shows the same behaviour before filing another report.

Subject: problem with zipfileset and fileset storing directories with
xml files in them


Hey all,

I am hoping I am just losing my mind here. When I use
the WAR, JAR or ZIP task to create an archive, every
time I try to store any directories that have .xml
files in them, the directories are lowercased. Always.
I do something like this:


<zip destdir="${dist.dir}/file.war">
  <zipfileset dir="${web.dir}/WEB-INF"
prefix="WEB-INF"/>
</zip>


Every time I open the file.war (or if I name it
file.zip or anything else.. its the same), the WEB-INF
path is ALWAYS lowercased to web-inf/ in the path
column of the zip file. If I use a dir like KKII that
is stored on the filesystem in uppercase (windows
system) and even specify a prefix that is all
uppercase, if there is a .xml file below that dir, the
dir name is ALWAYS lowercased in the archive. If there
isn't a .xml file, it is stored with whatever case I
use in the prefix="". 

Please tell me why this is? The reason is, at least
unless something else is wrong, when I try to deploy
my .war file to tomcat (5.5.7), the .war file when I
open it in winzip shows both WEB-INF/ paths and
web-inf/ paths. The web-inf/ paths are where my
web.xml is found. The output of tomcat says it can't
find the web.xml of my web application.  Even if I
name ALL the dirs to web-inf/ lowercase I still get
this. On disk, it shows up (once tomcat expands the
.war file) was WEB-INF, but it still for some reason
is not finding the web.xml.

Anyone got any clues? Why is the war/zip/jar task
always lowercasing dirs with .xml files in them? I
would expect it to behave as I tell it to, using
prefix="" to upper-case.

Thanks.
