JBoss6: spaces in path

[chengwen]

When I use jboss 6.0.0.0 final, I found it that spaces in jboss_home path makes jboss6 fail to start.

For example, if I put my jboss in the directory like "C:\Program Files\jboss",  it will end up with the exception:

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 16: file:/C:/Program Files/jboss

Is it a bug of jboss6? Haven't the bug been fixed yet?

Or, is there any solutions which can make jboss run correctly  in the path "C:\Program Files\jboss" ?

Or, what I can do is ONLY to change jboss to anther path without spaces ?

Please tell me what to do. Thanks in advance !

Hello, these days I kept trying to find ways to solve the "spaces" problem, Now I find the solution.

In %Jboss_home%/server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/jboss-web-service.jar, I find the class:

org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.java

Line 222-223 was used to be:

if (docBase == null)
  docBase = VFS.getChild(warUrl).getPhysicalFile().getAbsolutePath();

Now I changed them to :

 if (docBase == null)       
          docBase = warUrl.getFile();

And then the jboss 6 can work in a path with spaces now.

But I am not sure if what I did will cause other problems. Can I change the jar file to solve the problem like this?

anyone can help？Thank you!

Yes, please change it.
