A space in the context path causes PageFlowUtils.getActionURI() to throw a
URISyntaxException
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEEHIVE-1111
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1111
Project: Beehive
Type: Bug
Components: NetUI
Versions: V1, 1.0.1, v.next
Reporter: Carlin Rogers
Assigned to: Carlin Rogers
Priority: Minor
Fix For: v.next
If you create a NetUI web application and deploy it with a servlet context name
that includes a space ("/test space"), then any pages that use tags that
rewrite of an action name will throw a URISyntaxException.
The problem occurs because in our MutableURI implementation we use
java.net.URI() to parse a string into the components of the URI. The
java.net.URI constructor with a single argument expects the string to be
encoded. A space in the string causes it to throw URISyntaxException.
Unfortunately, the real issue in this bug is the difference in what is returned
from a call to request.getContextPath(). The implementation for
HttpServletRequest method getContextPath() is not consistent across containers.
The spec says the "container does not decode this string." However, the string
returned in Tomcat is decoded. (See Tomcat bugzilla bug 39503) Also this method
returns a decoded string in some containers if the request is a forward where
the RequestDispatcher was acquired using a relative path.
We build a path based on the result of getContextPath() and the module path for
the current page flow. When we get a decoded space in the context path, we get
the exception described above. It seems that it is only the space character in
the context path that causes us issues so we can check for a decoded space in
the context path and encode it.
