[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBVFS-143) file:// protocol URL might not work with 3rd party libraries

file:// protocol URL might not work with 3rd party libraries ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBVFS-143 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBVFS-143 Project: JBoss VFS Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 3.0.0.CR3 Reporter: Thomas Diesler Assignee: John Bailey Priority: Critical Fix For: 3.0.0.CR4 A URL like this file:/home/tdiesler/svn/jboss-osgi/trunk/testsuite/example/target/test-libs/example-http.jar/res/message.txt gets passed to a 3rd party library (i.e. Jetty) which does stuff like this public static Resource newResource(URL url, boolean useCaches) { if (url==null) return null; String url_string=url.toExternalForm(); if( url_string.startsWith( "file:")) { try { FileResource fileResource= new FileResource(url); return fileResource; } catch(Exception e) { Log.debug(Log.EXCEPTION,e); return new BadResource(url,e.toString()); } } else if( url_string.startsWith( "jar:file:")) { return new JarFileResource(url, useCaches); } else if( url_string.startsWith( "jar:")) { return new JarResource(url, useCaches); } return new URLResource(url,null,useCaches); } As a consequence, content access does not work. This seems to be a general issue caused by the reuse of the well known file:// protocol which may be processed explicitly by 3rd party libs.
