Limitation of the server related to handling long directory names. If you use a workspace in a directory with a long path or choose long names for your projects, you may get this error when starting a server, or when testing files on a server.

You may take one of the following actions:

• Move your workspace to a location with a shorter path, for example C:/workspace.
• Give your Enterprise Application project or other project a shorter name.
