Hi,
afaik there are two reasons for this one is versioning (for recompiling and
loading) and the other as a char-mangling mechanism to make weired filenames
propper class names.
For a detailed discussion search the archives for topics like:
"jsp-filenames should be less than 20 characters"
Reagards,
Andreas
