[jira] Reopened: (OPENEJB-1252) Dont use URLDecoder on file paths, it doesn't work

["David Blevins (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1252?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

David Blevins reopened OPENEJB-1252:
------------------------------------


We still need to do some decoding, just not the plus.  Windows will encode paths in jar URLs which has made this a hard problem to solve (see the tuscany-related https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1068 which basically proposed the same solution you came up with).

I dug through harmony to see what they do to open streams to URLs in their file and jar url handlers.  Looks like the code does do the %hex decoding, but not + decoding.  Grabbing that code, cleaning it up, and will check that in shortly.

> URLS tries to use URLDecoder on a file path.  This converts the "+" characters mac os x likes to put in temp file names into " " (space) which causes disasters.  The javadoc says its not for paths, just form content encoded in a url.
> Use URI.create instead.
