Starting and binding a remote object to an RMI registry under Tom cat 4.0.1

["Mann, Nick" <Ni...@COGNOS.com>]

Hi
I'm having trouble starting and binding a remote object to an RMI registry
under Tomcat 4.0.1. when the CATALINA_HOME variable
is pointing to an install directory with a space in it, like "Program Files"

The code is in a servlet.... eg

	createRegistry();

	Naming.bind("rmi://localhost:5098/arb", new TestRemote());

And gives a remote exception like..

java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested
exception is: 
	java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested
exception is: 
	java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:
Files/Cognos/baltic/tomcat4.0.1/webapps/../../webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/classes/
java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception
is: 
	java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:

Feb 19, 1922 12:36:59 PM Failed to create registry

You can see that the "file:/E/Program" has been lopped off the begining (by
the classloader??) So effectively the stub / skel for the remote object....
which is present, is not found.

When I have tomcat running under a directory like "Programs" the Remote
object is bound to the registry no problem. Any idea of a workaround??

cheers

p.s.
this doesnt happen if I try a Naming.lookup( as long as the registry is
started and bound to in another jvm.

	I don't know what tool the Jakarta guys use to build the installer,
but I know that for a project I worked on last year we had the same
restriction because the install builder (InstallAnywhere) wouldn't allow us
to escape the strings properly.
