[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (ISPN-827) Windows paths cause problems when looking up configuration files

Windows paths cause problems when looking up configuration files ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-827 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-827 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Configuration Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final, 4.2.0.CR3 Environment: Windows 7 64 bit. Reporter: Jonas Lasson Assignee: Manik Surtani Fix For: 4.2.0.CR4, 4.2.0.Final When initiating the DefaultCacheManager with an absolute windows path from within Glassfish, a IllegalArgumentException is thrown before the configuration is even tried to be read with FileInputStream. SEVERE: org.infinispan.config.ConfigurationException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: name at org.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheManager.<init>(DefaultCacheManager.java:256) The problem is easily reproducible by doing: new DefaultCacheManager("c:\\cachetest.xml"); From within a servlet. The reason for this problem is found in FileLookup.java line 68, and happens because the classloader throws an IllegalArgumentException for the path provided. A simple solution would be to catch runtime exceptions when we try to load a resource from the cache loader, and then fall back to reading the config file with FileInputStream
