Log4j, Xerces, and paths with spaces

[andie]

I have jboss (v3.0.3) installed in C:\Program Files\jboss and I am trying to use Xerces as the XML parser (run -j xerces). When I start JBoss I get the following:

16:04:35,656 INFO [Log4jService$URLWatchTimerTask] Configuring from URL: resource:log4j.xml

Jboss starts and 'works' fine but I don't get a server.log file (everything is written to boot.log). Log4j isn't configured.
If I use cimson everything works fine.
If I install into C:\jboss everything works fine.

It seems that there is some issue with Xerces and reading the log4j config file from a path with a space. Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm getting similar things.

I had the same problem when I installed JBoss 3.2.3 bundled with Tomcat. The problem was that I had my default JAVA_HOME set to version j2sdk1.4.1_02. I edited \JBoss\bin\run.bat and added a extra line to force the JAVA_HOME to point to a later version of JDK (namely, j2sdk1.4.2_03) and that fixed the problem. I left the XercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar as is that came bundled with JBoss 3.2.3.

FILE: run.bat
---------------------------------------
:FOUND_RUN_JAR

REM --- BEGIN: ADDED THIS LINE ---
set java_home=E:\Java\j2sdk1.4.2_03\jre
REM --- END: ADDED THIS LINE ---

if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto ADD_TOOLS

set JAVA=java
---------------------------------------

I hope this helps.
