RMI call fails when URL contain spaces

[Tomas Pollak <to...@yahoo.com>]

Hello all,

I have this use case:
I'm developing a web applicaton that makes an RMI call to a server. If I have a standalone Tomcat instance, and deploy the war to it, it works fine. 

However, when I use the maven-tomcat-plugin I get a MalformedURLException. Searching for this problem online there is some information like:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4496398
The problem's cause is that one or more jars from the classpath contain spaces in their path. This is indeed so, since all the maven dependencies are in the form: C:\Documents and Settings\user\.m2\.....
(The exception is: MalformedURLException: unkown protocol: and)

However there must be some bug with Tomcat (the maven plugin uses version 6.0.16), because when using the maven-jetty-plugin this problem doesn't occur.
If you debug and set a breakpoint in the method java.rmi.server.RMIClassLoader.newDefaultProviderInstance(), you'll notice that the spaces in the codebase URLs are not escaped, whereas with Jetty they are.

Could someone confirm if this is a bug, or if there is a workaround?

Cheers,
Tomás

And anyway, paths containing spaces are evil and should be proscribed.

So your webapp works properly under Tomcat, but not under the maven plugin, and somehow you conclude this is a Tomcat problem?  The fact that the completely separate maven-Jetty plugin works has no relevance.

I would think you need to ask on a codehaus mailing list, since the maven plugin is not part of Tomcat nor even an Apache project.
