>From the ant manual | War Task <quote> 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. </quote>

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.
