Avoid setting application Web URLs as existing folder names in the Web server Web root because: (1) If a Web application uses an existing folder under the Web root as the Web URL, a large number of Web files belonging to the application will be deployed to that folder, making it difficult to use the folder for its original purpose. (2) If a Web application uses a folder that is reserved for the Web server or Appeon Server, some important files belonging to the Web server or Appeon Server may be replaced or even removed when the application is undeployed.
The following are folder names reserved for the Web server or Appeon Server that should not be used as application Web URLs: appeon, classes, docs, images, ir, wst, and WEB-INF.
