compiler creates empty .java files for invalid URLs

           Summary: compiler creates empty .java files for invalid URLs
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.2 Final
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If you enter an invalid URL that ends with .jsp, Tomcat creates zero length
files in the work directory that never get cleaned up.  We see these a lot in
development, but not too many with operational systems.  Someone could use this
to be mallicious and get the server into a state where you could not create
new work files for valid URLs, so it should probably be fixed as a potential
denial of service.  Ie if the URL is invalid and the JSP file does not exist
don't create the .java file in the work directory.  Currently I have 11 of
those zero length files due to type-o's on my part when entering the URL in
the browser.
