Hi, I've been checking the example that interacts with an ofbiz service. I disabled ssl by commenting out lines in ofbiz-containers.xml. (Would be great to have comments about it in the xml. My opinion is that for using the demo service for the first time its probably not a good idea to get the whole ssl burden. Or is it already documented somewhere?)
However I kept getting the following error using jdk1.5.0_09 with ofbiz rev# 496747 (around January 16th) on a Win2003 server: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_09/lib/tools.jar Note that only the JDK is installed to Program Files folder, ofbiz_home does not have any spaces in its path. I tried changing the 'Program Files' sequence to 'Progra~1' in both JAVA_HOME env var and the Java section of Windows registry, all to no avail. I was told that the most common way of solution is to use a JDK which is installed into a directory that has no spaces in its path. Since I like to avoid reinstalling JDK and reconfiguring everything based on it at all cost, I came up with a solution of a quick fix of Classpath.java based on a relevant issue in the Sun bug database: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=a6a5e6c13fadf9ffffffffc85adbe8a70f6aa:WuuT?bug_id=4273532 In the getUrls() method I changed urls[i] = ((File) (_elements.get(i))).toURL() to this urls[i] = ((File) (_elements.get(i))).toURI().toURL() After this the demo service runs ok for me. It would be great if someone could be looking at it in details. (I'm far from seeing the whole picture, and this kind of modification may apply to other places as well where the toURL() method is used. Also it might turn out that this has downsides elsewhere.) This way this simple demo would work out-of-the-box on Windows as well. And keep up the good work guys, ofbiz is great. Thanks, András
