Cannot add deploy directory on Windows network share
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-8332
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8332
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Web (Tomcat) service
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.GA
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: James Livingston
            Assignee: Remy Maucherat
             Fix For: TBD


Adding a new deployment directory on a UNC path (i.e. Windows file share) does not work.

TomcatDeployment currently converts the url in String form to a path by using new URL(stringUrl).getPath(), rather than simply chopping off the leading file:, and this causes problems with deployments accessed via Windows UNC paths because of the URL classes bad handling of those. The issue can also be fixed by solving JBVFS-160 so the URL string gets generated with extra slashes.
