Limitations of servers due to long directory names

If you use a workspace in a directory with a long path or choose long names for your Enterprise Application project or web project, you might get errors when you start a server, or when testing files on a server.

Important: Applicable to WebSphere® Application Server traditional
For example, the following shows what a WebSphere Application Server error might look like:
Error Message: JSPG0113E: JSP file
      "Xxx/Yyy_jsp_0.java (Filename too long)" not found

If you receive this error, you might take any of the following actions:

  • Move your workspace to a location with a shorter path, for example C:/workspace.
  • Rename your Enterprise Application project or other projects with a shorter name.
  • Decrease the folder depth of the file within the application. For example, move the JSP pages into a common folder or root of the web content folder instead of nesting them further down.
