Error while opening an URLConnection ------------------------------------ Key: JBAS-9388 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9388 Project: Legacy JBoss Application Server 6 Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 6.1.0 Environment: Windows XP, JBoss 6.1.0, Sun JDK 1.6.0_22 Reporter: Prasad Deshpande Hi, I'm trying to open a file using URLConnection inside a servlet & it throws me following exception. I'm using jboss-6.1.0-SNAPSHOT on windows platform. java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in opaque part at index 7: file:D:\jboss-5.1.0-SVN\eFp\eFp-Current\server.properties Not sure if anyone has tried it before. File URL seems to be correct but still I get above exception. Could anyone please highlight? Please ignore the path of the file even if it says jboss-5.1.0 I just have a directory with that name, it has nothing to do with actual 5.1.0 version. I'm also attaching my servlet code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
