Q: Why can't JBoss w/ Tomcat be installed in a path that has spaces?
I'm trying to install JBoss on a WinXP machine. The base locaiton for the install is: "C:\Program Files\JBoss". In this folder, I have unzipped the following versions of JBoss:
1) jboss-3.2.1 (w/ Jetty)
2) jboss-3.2.1_tomcat-4.1.24
3) jboss-3.2.2 (w/ Tomcat)
The system environment variable JAVA_HOME is properly set to where JDK 1.4.1_02 is installed.
When I run JBoss 3.2.1 (w/ Jetty), I am able to access the JMX Console.
However, when I run either JBoss 3.2.1 or JBoss 3.2.2 w/ Tomcat, I cannot access the JMX console (or any other JSP). The browser displays the following text.
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
[javac] javac: invalid flag: C:\Program
Please note the invalid flag of "C:\Program". This is the beginning of the base path of where JBoss was installed (C:\Program Files\...).
It appears that JBoss w/ Tomcat does not properly handle a space in its installation path. Since this works with stand-alone Tomcate, I assume it is an issue with JBoss.
I cannot force the installation of JBoss into a path that does not contains spaces since the installation location is user specified.
Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated!
