Re: Tomcat and path with pound sign (#) - ClassNotFoundException
Hi (Len), got feedback from sun today and they confirmed our findings, i.e. it's a problem known for a long time. All efforts fixing this failed due to other incompatibilities, for example see sun-bug-ids 4273532 6243815 and their relatives. The proposed software workaround is using File.toURI().toURL(). As of Java 1.4 java.io.File.toURL is (marked as) deprecated, see sun-bug-id 61794689. This leaves two options: - avoid path names with #s - or other special characters used in the http/html world but otherwise fully valid on the filesystem = i'm forced to do this until the next one has been worked on - fix/workaround this problem in tomcat = middle/long term, i'll open a bug report kind regards, Markus Quoting Len Popp [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There are a few problems caused by # in directory names, and it looks to me like they're at least partly Tomcat's fault. 1. The classloader problem that you reported: Tomcat converts file pathnames to URLs for URLClassLoader, using File.toURL which handles # poorly. This could be Sun's fault, but following a note in their docs here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/File.html#toURL() I was able to fix this problem in Tomcat by calling File.toURI and then URI.toURL. (That's the workaround I referred to before.) 2. After fixing problem 1, I found that JSPs don't work because Jasper screws up the pathname of its output directory. There's some code in JspCompilationContext that concatenates directories using both URL and file syntax, truncating it at the # and using both \ and / directory separators (in Windows). It looks screwy to me, I don't see why it should be using URLs to concatenate file pathnames. 3, etc. There are several other places in Tomcat where File.toURL is used and I think it could have problems with # in pathnames, but I don't know what the effects are. So it's pretty clear to me that Tomcat could handle pathnames with # chars better. Is it worth the trouble to find and fix all the related problems, or is it simpler to tell people not to use unusual directory names? I could help fix some of the problems, but there are some that I haven't figured out. -- Len On 8/12/07, Markus Schiegl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Len Popp wrote: I'm not sure the topic is ready to be nailed shut just yet...

Re: Tomcat and path with pound sign (#) - ClassNotFoundException
In ANT we are using our own URL encoding, because Java one does not [always] work correctly in some cases. I guess it could be happening here too (possibly when creating new URLClassLoaderes). Anyway, there are Tomcat sources available. Feel free fixing them and submitting the patch.

Why not just change it to /export/home/markus/tomcat_1 or something and be done with it. Is trying to make it work with a # really worth the time an effort? Think in terms of hours spent * hourly rate or hour spent that you could be doing something else. Just my opinion.

Re: Tomcat and path with pound sign (#) - ClassNotFoundException
Hi Ben, this is exactly the question. As these directories are created and used by other software changing the # sign to something else involves modifications to these programs and therefore hours/days of work too. I've decided to put in a few hours to evaluate the situation before making a conclusion. Can anybody confirm the #-sign is a reserved char (maybe because the classloader is a URL-Classloader and #'s in URLs are used for anchors) for tomcat - but not for java itself anymore? Even if it's a tomcat bug but would be marked as will not fix for whatever reasons i'm fine. Just want to have all available informations/ statements before i open bug report. Has anybody been able to start a tomcat server from such a directory? kind regards, Markus ben short wrote: Why not just change it to /export/home/markus/tomcat_1 or something and be done with it.
