Re: [jira] Updated: (DERBY-668) SysInfo can give misleading information when JDBC jars are loaded from jre/lib/ext

[Francois Orsini]

Yes, this is the jar access protocol when referencing resources within a JAR.

This protocol has in fact caused issues (and reported bugs) when a resource is loaded from a JAR which resides in a directory path containing the exclamation character ('!') in on of the folder(s) - the jar access protocol gets confused and failed to locate the resource as it attempts to access a JAR path and filename composed of the characters preceeding the '!'...This is irrelevant to the changes for this JIRA but thought it was worth mentioning...
