Error description
The paths for directories under the server's workarea directory contain very long character sequences which can cause problems on some path-constrained operating systems. An example of such a path is: "\usr\servers\defaultServer\workarea\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\38 \data\cacheOverlay\com.ibm.ws.app.manager_ge n_77de523e-73d4-4a15-be24-eb39a5b39ab9\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\o rg.apache.commons.fileupload_1.2.1100.v20120901_0511\..." . On Windows, users might see something like the following: C:\>dir /s wlp Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 3FFC-6777 The directory name C:\8.5.5.1\wlp\usr\servers\defaultServer\workarea\org.eclipse.os gi\bundles\38\data\cacheAdapt\com.ibm.ws.app.manager_gen_ 0b147005-2ffc-45dc-8999-7d6fe71c883a\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\com .ibm.team.server.war.template_1.1.200.v20120901_0511\WEB-INF\lib \jazzservlet bridge.jar is too long.
