Windows delimiter '\' cannot be used in any path in Elytron client configuration file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ELY-1159 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1159 Project: WildFly Elytron Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Beta42 Reporter: Ondrej Lukas Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Priority: Critical When Elytron client configuration file includes some path (e.g. for keystore) with Windows delimiter '\' then this path cannot be parsed. When Windows delimiter '\' is replaced by linux delimiter '/' then resource on given path can be loaded correctly. That means it is user experience issue since common Windows path cannot be used in Elytron client configuration file, but wokraround (using '/') is simple. None of following types of path work: {code} C:\some\path\to\client.truststore C:\\some\\path\\to\\client.truststore {code} Following type of path works on Windows correctly: {code} C:/some/path/to/client.truststore {code} Following exception is thrown when '\' is used in Elytron client configuration file (the same exception is thrown when '\' is escaped in path): {code} org.wildfly.client.config.ConfigXMLParseException: CONF0020: Failed to parse expression value of attribute "name" at vfs:/W:/workspace/eap-7x-security-elytron-testsuite-windows/f43f9016/tests-security/elytron/content/wildfly-config-xml-dep.war/META-INF/wildfly-config.xml:18:1 at org.wildfly.client.config.ConfigurationXMLStreamReader.getExpressionAttributeValue(ConfigurationXMLStreamReader.java:685) at org.wildfly.client.config.ConfigurationXMLStreamReader.getAttributeValueResolved(ConfigurationXMLStreamReader.java:330) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseNameType(ElytronXmlParser.java:1697) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseNameType(ElytronXmlParser.java:1680) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseKeyStoreType(ElytronXmlParser.java:1225) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseKeyStoresType(ElytronXmlParser.java:1113) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseAuthenticationClientType(ElytronXmlParser.java:279) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseAuthenticationClientConfiguration(ElytronXmlParser.java:180) at org.wildfly.security.auth.client.ElytronXmlParser.parseAuthenticationClientConfiguration(ElytronXmlParser.java:141) at com.redhat.eap.qe.elytron.authnctx.WildflyConfigXmlServlet.parseAndCreateAuthenticationClientConfiguration(WildflyConfigXmlServlet.java:116) ... 41 more Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: COM00009: Invalid expression syntax at position 2 W:\workspace\eap-7x-security-elytron-testsuite-windows\f43f9016\tests-security\elytron\target\client.keystore ^ at org.wildfly.common.expression.Expression.invalidExpressionSyntax(Expression.java:654) at org.wildfly.common.expression.Expression.parseString(Expression.java:610) at org.wildfly.common.expression.Expression.compile(Expression.java:203) at org.wildfly.common.expression.Expression.compile(Expression.java:183) at org.wildfly.client.config.ConfigurationXMLStreamReader.getExpressionAttributeValue(ConfigurationXMLStreamReader.java:683) ... 50 more {code}
