[Jetspeed 2.1 & 2.1.1] JSP Compilation Exception - Install directory has spaces

["V C, Srivathsan" <sr...@hp.com>]

Hi All,
 
We are facing a critical exception when running our portal application
on Jetspeed 2.1.1. Our application runs a lot of JSPs, which depend on
quite a few internal libraries.
 
When Jetspeed is installed on a directory with spaces on Windows
(D:\Apache\Jetspeed 2.1.1), the JSPs throw compilation exceptions.
 
On looking at the logs, we see that the classpath is being set as a URL
(with %20 instead of a space) for all the lib files that are part of our
portal app. However, Jetspeed's default classpath is set correctly.
 
Interesting snippets of the log are reproduced below:

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Can you suggest any
workaround for the same? 
 
Thanks and Regards,

Or use their 8.3 names in your environment variables.
CATALINA_HOME  is c:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\TOMCAT~6.0  
Use the correct names from your machine. DIR/X will show you the names.

Problems with Java applications installed on Windows in directories with spaces are very common, just search on this on the net and you'll find plenty of examples.
And there are many different sources of origin where it can break down, even in certain standard (SUN) JDK classes or other common java libraries.
Trying to "fix" these issues I personally don't really care doing anymore, unless they are caused by my own code or directly related to that.
I usually advise my clients to go for the easiest (and obvious) solution: just don't install in directories with spaces (under Windows that is).
