http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10499 Compiler task doesn't handle spaces in filenames correctly [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|FIXED | ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-06-03 14:47 ------- I am re-opening this bug. Based on the fix I have seen for it in a recent 1.6 alpha nightly build it is not the correct fix. I was hoping it would make 1.5, but it seems to have missed the last 1.5 build (1.5.3). Here is the 'fix' in the 1.6 nightly build: for (int i = firstFileName; i < args.length; i ) { if (quoteFiles && args[i].indexOf(" ") > -1) { out.println("\"" args[i] "\""); } else { out.println(args[i]); } } This is not a complete fix. There are three problems with this fix: 1. It needs to escape backslashes, see bug 17683. Without doing this it will not work, especially on Windows which always uses backslashes. 2. The method decides whether to quote the names using the "quoteFiles" boolean parameter. However, there is no way of setting quoteFiles to True. There is no way of configuring Ant to do this. When used in Tomcat this will not be set. It would be great to always set this to True if running on Windows. At the moment, swapping ant.jar from the latest Ant 1.6 nightly-build into Tomcat 4.1.24 (which uses Ant 1.5.1), and restarting Tomcat does not fix the problem. The fix needs to work automatically. 3. The fix checks whether there is space before quoting the file. If someone wants to quote the file, why not always quote them. There might be other characters in the filename that need quoting (other white space). If it is going to check for spaces, then why do we need quoteFiles? Why not always quote files with spaces in their names? I would be grateful if the fix could be re-done. At the moment the default install of Tomcat on Windows doesn't work for small to medium sized applications.
