MalformedURLException on Tomcat-test

[armieri]

Just installed 2.4.4 with Tomcat4.0.1, installation seems fine (no errors on startup). I am running jdk1.3.1_01.

I am trying to run the provided tomcat test EAR, in particular the HelloEJB servlet.

I can get to the tomcat initial page with localhost:8080/index.html, but then I click on the "Execute the example" link (which links to http://localhost:8080/jboss/servlet/HelloEJB) I get the following error:

javax.naming.CommunicationException. Root exception is java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Files/jboss/JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/lib1002.jar

Any thoughts?

This is related to the fact that JBoss is not propertly
handling space characters in a Windows path
(e.g. c:\Program Files). They mentioned this problem in
the FAQ and the work around on the JBoss side can be found
at: http://www.jboss.org/developers/faq.jsp#FAQ-ADMIN-RUN-PATH-WITH-A-SPACE

It works when I used an external RMI process and JNDI
lookup to the ejb. However, when it comes to JNDI from
a servlet in Tomcat, I still have the same problem. If
you know of the solution, please kindly let me know.

Thanks,

Conrad Chan.

Hi Conrad,

The FAQ link you specified in your posting is not working. I am getting a "not found" page when I click on the link. Could you please post the correct URL or post the workaround solution for handling the spaces in windows paths.

Thanks
Srini

The easiest way to workaround this problem is not to use spaces in your tomcat (or jboss) directory paths.

Is there a solution right now?
I've got the same problem with the JBoss 4.0.4
