Re: TC7 + AntCompiler problems with whitespace in pathname
Dear all, Now about whether this is a bug in Tomcat or its documentation : I am fairly sure that not long ago, I saw a strong warning somewhere in the on-line Tomcat documentation, about not using spaces in pathnames somewhere, as it was not supported by some component. Perhaps the Tomcat start script can issue a warning in case spaces are found in the path?
