virtual directory naming in tomcat

[Kriss Reddy]

Hello All.
Is there a naming convention for virtual directories in tomcat 5.0.28?

'cuz when I gave for a virtual directory as xxx67SPx... and when i started tomcat... on the command prompt... it gave an error saying "the input line is too long"

Any help or pointers in this direction is greately appreciated.

Kriss.

I haven't seen the problem you're describing but at a guess you have a character in that file name that is getting intepreted by the shell and making Tomcat try to run something else. Perhaps an asterisk or an exclamation point?
