[jboss-dev] AS 6 Final Code Freeze: Friday, December 17

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi Shelly,

Just wanted to make you aware of two issues we've spotted with respect to different behavior from AS 5 to AS 6

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7876 
AS 6 no longer seem to pick up jdbc drivers from server/lib but now expects them in server/<configname>/lib - is this expected ? We can change
this behavior - but it means we will have to deploy the jar to *every* <configname>/lib for AS 6 to be sure we hit the right one and I don't want to change
it if its just a "bug" in later AS 6's.

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8734
AS 6 can't handle deployment URL's with spaces (even encoded ones); AS 5 can.

These are rather annoying bugs/changes causing problems for newbies (jdbc driver deploy) and especially Windows users which
default installation will have spaces in the names.

Thanks!
