RE: How to get paths with forward slashes

[Jacob Kjome]

If you read the docs on java.io.File, it can take the following formats:

C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\file.txt
C:\\mydirectory\\mysubdirectory\\file.txt
C:/mydirectory/mysubdirectory/file.txt

and the URL class taks the following formats:

file:///C:/mydirectory/mysubdirectory/file.txt
file:///C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\file.txt

you can even mix things up like this...

file:///C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory/file.txt


The way I set up my file paths is:

<param name="File" value="${mycontext.log.home}/mylogfile.log"/>

I set a system property at runtime for said variable. The path that I set up looks like this on Windows:

C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory


So, I'm not sure why Log4j would be choking on a path like this since it works fine for me. Anyone else have an ideas?

Well, here are the specific examples I am having trouble with:

1) log4j's configuration file requires pathnames with either forward
slashes or double back-slashes. If I use Ant to create this file with a
path property, I get something like

        <param name="File" value="C:\MyProject\log\test.log"/>

Log4j gets completely confused by this.

2) The Axis Java2Wsdl task expects a URL in the form

      url="file:///C:/MyProject//MyProject.wsdl"

I do not know how to give this URL to the Ant task even if I have a
property that contains a regular path.

Thanks.

Java programs will understand file: protocol URL's even if the slashes
are
a mix of forward and backslashes....at least that is my experience.  So,
I
wouldn't worry much about this.
