[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBVFS-160) FileSystemContext.getFileURI returns wrong URI for UNC paths on Windows

[James Livingston (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBVFS-160?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12537737#action_12537737 ] 

James Livingston commented on JBVFS-160:
----------------------------------------

In particular, the way it converts the URI to a path then back to a URI doesn't work because (on Windows at least):

new URI("file:////127.0.0.1/shared/").getPath() == "//127.0.0.1/shared/"
new URI("file", null, "//127.0.0.1/shared/", null) == "file://127.0.0.1/shared"

> When passed a File for something with a UNC path (e.g. \\127.0.0.1\shared), FileSystemContext.getFileURI() return a URI like "file://127.0.0.1/shared" (which is what Windows itself uses) rather than "file:////127.0.0.1/shared" (which Java uses, and converts for OS calls). This will cause JBoss to fail to deploy things if they are located on an unmapped UNC location.
> I'm attaching a test case for this. To use it, you need to run it on a Windows system and have access to a something with a UNC path. The code as written expects there to be a SMB share called "shared" on the machine it is run on, but it can easily be change to point elsewhere.
