[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-888) Specifying log4jConfiguration in web.xml fails on Windows when the file's path contains spaces

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-888?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14186810#comment-14186810 ] 

Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-888:
-------------------------------------

It sounds like we need to encode some characters with % before giving them to the URI ctor.

>    Affects Versions: 2.1

> When specifying the context parameter log4jConfiguration in the web.xml of a web application and the resulting string contains spaces, e.g.

> {code}
> the following exception is thrown on Windows systems:

> ERROR StatusLogger Unable to convert configuration location [file:///C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-7.0.54/conf/logtestapp-log4j.xml] to a URI java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 18: file:///C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/apache-tomcat-7.0.54/conf/logtestapp-log4j.xml

>     </context-param>
> {code}
> but this will require using fixed strings instead of lookup values.
> Note: This bug appears to be very similar to LOG4J2-409.
