[jira] Resolved: (DAEMON-166) Support for wildcards in classpath equivalent to Java 6 launcher

["Mladen Turk (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-166?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mladen Turk resolved DAEMON-166.
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.0.2
       Resolution: Fixed

Fixed in the SVN.

Path expansion for classpath considers only the classpath parts that ends with the asterisk character.
Intermediate wild cards are supported only for unix version and the '.jar' suffix is added automatically.
foo:dir/*:bar will expand all .jar files, and the final path will look as:
foo:dir/1.jar:dir/2.jar:/dir/N.jar:bar
In case dir/ does not contain any .jar files that part will be left empty and the final path will be
fo::bar (note the empty part). This will also happen if the dir/ is not readable.
Same thing is done on windows with ';' as path separator

> As of Java 6 the launcher supports basic wildcards in the classpath, at the end of a path a '*' will match any jar found in that directory, and it will be expanded appropriately before the java application is launched. It would be nice to have this support in procrun (and probably the unix version if not already). A modification to the apxJavaInitialize method in javajni.c could do similar expansion to that found in the java launcher code prior to setting the VM option.
