Symptoms

After upgrading from Oracle Application Server (OAS) 10.1.3.4 to Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.5 on Windows, some JSP files are not being compiled when accessed by the user. Instead the user gets error HTTP 404 - File not found .

This is caused by URL case sensitivity to invoke the pages.

This behavior is different when compared to previous versions of the Oracle Application Servers.

To reproduce the issue:

1. Deploy application to Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.4 on Windows.

2. Try to access: 
http://<host>:<port>/<root context>/admin/myjsp.jsp
(Notice admin with lowercase a)

Result:
Success.

3. Try to access :
http://<host>:<port>/<root context>/Admin/myjsp.jsp

(Notice Admin with uppercase A)

Result:

4. Deploy application to Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.5 on Windows.

5. Try to access:
http://<host>:<port>/<root context>/admin/myjsp.jsp

Result:
