[jira] [Commented] (JENA-1114) sparql tool help and documentation
should be more specific about --data and --query formating parameters
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1114?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15090144#comment-15090144 ]
Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-1114:
-------------------------------------
Could you provide the command you are running and the complete exception?
Do you have a description of the full range of characters that cause problems? Any other than \ ?
There might be better ways than to merely document it.
(the code in this area has changed a lot since 2012).

> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Cmd line tools, Documentation
> Affects Versions: Jena 3.0.1
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Ramiro Pereira de Magalhães
> Labels: documentation

> In Windows, the sparql tool's options {{\-\-data}} and {{\-\-query}} must be formated as an URI, or it throws a "Code: 4/UNWISE_CHARACTER in PATH" exception. It took me quite some time to notice that, and probably I would have lost much less time figuring this out if the {{\-\-help}} was explicit about this. The same also applies to the [documentation|https://jena.apache.org/documentation/query/cmds.html]. It seems this confusion happens with [other users too|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jena-users/201209.mbox/%3C504E4D07.6080803@apache.org%3E].
> Therefore, I suggest that both the command line help and the documentation be updated to be a more specific about this requirement.
