RE: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Files/thirdparty/TOMCAT/common/classes/
Hi Chris, Sorry for the late reply. We implemented the workaround mentioned at the bottom of http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4543 for now. This fixed our problem. At the same time, we also consider reinstalling tomcat under another directory without space and see if that fixes our problem. At this point, it seems none of the non-invasive work-arounds fixes this issue we're having. Thanks again for all your help. - Jeffrey Nguyen -Original Message- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 3:18 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Files/thirdparty/TOMCAT/common/classes/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Jeffrey, Jeffrey Nguyen (jeffrngu) wrote: I can cd to all 4 paths w/o any problem (see below).

I did some Google search and found some postings similar to the ones
listed below. They seem to suggest that I would run into this problem
if Tomcat was installed under a directory with spaces in it.
Yes, for some reason spaces in path names are frequently the cause of
lots of head-scratching. I'm not sure if it's strictly a win32 issue or
not, but a lot of win32 folks seem to have this problem.
Something you could try is explicitly setting the value of the
CATALINA_HOME environment variable, and be sure to use the
8.3-equivalent of the path for the value. For instance:
set CATALINA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\thirdparty\TOMCAT
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat
I realize you might be using Tomcat as a service, so you'll have to
figure out how to get the same effect with the service launcher thing.
Another option, of course, is to install Tomcat into a directory with no
spaces in the path.
Hope that helps,

Yes. It's obvious that the path still contains the space, and that the
loader is considering it to be a path delimiter instead of part of the
path itself.
If I replace ${catalina.home} with C:/Program~1/thirdparty/TOMCAT
for the first path, I'll get MalformedURLException exception again for
the second path. If I made the same change for the first 2 paths, I'll
get the same exception complaining about the third path. If I do this
for the first 3 paths, the same exception points to the last path.
When I made the same change for all 4 paths, Tomcat failed to start. I
got the following error in catalina.* log:

There are two possibilities:
1. Your path is still not correct (likely)
2. Your Tomcat install must be broken. This class should be in
CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/naming-factory.jar
Did you check to see that your 8.3 representation of the path is
correct? Try copy-and-pasting that path up there into a cd command and
see if windows will put you in the proper directory.
One more thing: I don't see any of the above exceptions if I don't

I assume you need RMI or you wouldn't be asking.

Hi Chris,
I can cd to all 4 paths w/o any problem (see below). I also verified
that TransactionRef class is part of
CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/naming-factory.jar
C:\echo %CATALINA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT
C:\cd %CATALINA_HOME%/common/classes
C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\classescd\
C:\cd %CATALINA_HOME%/common/i18n
C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\i18ncd
%CATALINA_HOME%/common/endorsed
C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\endorsedcd
%CATALINA_HOME%/common/lib/
C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\lib
At this point, I'm considering reinstalling Tomcat in a different
directory as the last resort because it's involved a lot of work. I am
looking for a workaround.
