Invalid Request error in JSP

Question

Hi,
I have a jsp file(ibeCZzdMessages.jsp) which is a softlink to another file(flkIbeCZzdMessages.jsp) in another directory.
When i open this file in the browser it gives me an error saying :
JSP Error:
Request URI:/OA_HTML/ibeCZzdMessages.jsp
Exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Invalid request. Mismatch between target capitalization and repository name. Target name is: ibeCZzdMessages.jsp while repository name is: flkIbeCZzdMessages.jsp

Please help, I cannot figure out how to fix this. The JSP does not have any compilation error what so ever.
Thanks,

Answer 1

The softlink was created in UNIX environment like
$> ln -s flkIbeCZzdMessages.jsp $WEB_DIR/ibeCZzdMessages.jsp
the file is called from another jsp using the <jsp:forward> tag like
<jsp:forward page="ibeCZzdMessages.jsp" />
Does it matter what the file name is and what the link name is for creation of the JSP Servlet ?
I tried renaming the file to ibeCZzdMessages.jsp and created a softlink by the same name in the Web Directory and it worked, but I want to know what is the reason for the error ?
Thanks.
