[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBCOMMON-38) Use URI instead of URL in FileProtocolArchiveBrowserFactory

Use URI instead of URL in FileProtocolArchiveBrowserFactory ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBCOMMON-38 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCOMMON-38 Project: JBoss Common Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Davide Baroncelli Assignee: Dimitris Andreadis Current code in FileProtocolArchiveBrowserFactory has problems when the URL coming from above contains escaped characters. E.g.: In an app. I'm writing, the class receives an URL coming from a ClassLoader.getResources method: resources in directories containing square brackets arrive to the class in escaped URLs such as the following: file:/C:/Stratosfera/pos_back/%5BCARCON%5Dstratosfera-verifica-cartoline-concorso/war/WEB-INF/classes/ this form fails in the current implementation because of line 40: File f = new File(url.getPath()); this results in a non existing file. Replacing the line with the following solves the problem: File f; try { f = new File(url.toURI()); } catch ( URISyntaxException e ) { throw new RuntimeException( e ); } this problems creates various compatibility problems in depending libraries (hibernate entitymanager for one).
