jboss.home and whitespaces

[jkario78]

Trying to start JBoss under Windows 2000. JBoss is installed under directory which has whitespaces in its name. Whitespaces are converted to %20

C:\Documents and Settings\dummy\JBoss-2.4.10_Tomcat-4.0.6\jboss\bin>run_with_cat
alina.bat
JBOSS_CLASSPATH=;/lib/tools.jar;/lib/tools.jar;run.jar;../lib/crimson.jar
jboss.home = C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\dummy\JBoss-2.4.10_Tomcat-4.0.6\jboss

Using JAAS LoginConfig: file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/dummy/JBoss-2.4.10_T
omcat-4.0.6/jboss/conf/catalina/auth.conf
JBoss release: JBoss-2.4.10 CVSTag=JBoss_2_4_10
JBoss version: 2.4.10.2002-11-12 21:09:20 PST
Using configuration "catalina"
[INFO,root] Installed System.out adapter
[INFO,root] Installed System.err adapter
[INFO,root] Started Log4jService, config=file:/C:/Documents and Settings/dummy/J
Boss-2.4.10_Tomcat-4.0.6/jboss/conf/catalina/log4j.properties

Later on during startup this leads to.

[INFO,HypersonicDatabase] Starting
[INFO,STDOUT] Server.run/init: java.sql.SQLException: File input/output error: C
:\Documents%20and%20Settings\dummy\JBoss-2.4.10_Tomcat-4.0.6\jboss\db\hypersonic
\default.properties
[INFO,HypersonicDatabase] Database started

Installing JBoss into a different directory (without whitespaces) is not an option. We bundle JBoss with our application and the end user can essentially choose whatever directory he wishes.

Any workaround for this problem?

create a patch that does URLDecoder.decode(jboss.home);

[jkario78]

Patching jboss main class was the first thing I did. It worked perfectly, for a while.

Now when I invoke remote calls in servlet, I get

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: and

from Tomcat.

JBoss is installed under C:\Documents and Settings\xxx..

Those of you with keen eyes probably know whats wrong. The patch that I created causes this.

I think this is a bug in the way how tomcat and/or jboss handle file paths and urls (propably mixing them somewhere).
