[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-8543) Verify AS functionality on Windows

[ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8543?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] David Bosschaert commented on JBAS-8543: ---------------------------------------- Just to expand a little, the colon ':' is an invalid character in a Windows file path except as a drive separator. Java happily converts forward slashes to backslashes for you, so this: /C:/clones/bosschaert-jboss-as_211010/osgi/deployments/bundle1 is valid and would be treated on Windows as C:\clones\bosschaert-jboss-as_211010\osgi\deployments\bundle1 But the following are not valid: /C:/temp/blah/C:/clones/bosschaert-jboss-as_211010/osgi/deployments/bundle1 C:\temp\blah\C:\clones\bosschaert-jboss-as_211010\osgi\deployments\bundle1 So if the deploymentRoot is used somewhere as part of a path on disk we're clearly in trouble on Windows as it would contain a colon somewhere in the middle. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
