> DeploymentInfo objects are created with file-URLs without previously canonicalizing the file's path.
> If the original URL wasn't canonical (e.g. with Linux/Unix symlinks involved), this discrepancy leads to failure of at least EjbUtil's resolution of ejb-link:
> The URL to be searched for among DeploymentInfos by the MBeanServer is constructed from the canonicalized path, but the DeploymentInfo which should be found has a
> non canonical file URL (i.e. without symlinks resolved).
> I have been able to provisionally solve this issue by patching EjbUtil to not invoke 
> target = Strings.toURL(ourPath); 
> (which directly or indirectly calls getCanonicalPath()) but  a particular code fragment instead.
> This kind of solution surely isn't the right one. IMO, as the DeploymentInfo.url field is used as a key to the DeploymentInfo collections, this key should be always unique, i.e. canonicalized.
> My suggestion would be to change any DeploymentInfo instantiation AND any search for DeploymentInfo instances to use canonicalized file URLs.
