[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-3867) Space char always last char of read system property on Windows

[David Lloyd (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-3867?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13580527#comment-13580527 ] 

David Lloyd commented on WFCORE-3867:
-------------------------------------

The real issue is where the value is coming from.  System properties are well defined to be exact values, so if we read a system property inside the server and that system property ends in a whitespace or some other odd character, we *must* assume that this is intentional.

If we're processing arguments and variables from our Windows scripts wrongly and causing unintended interpretation of values, then it's the scripts that need correcting.  We need to establish the provenance of the values which are coming in incorrectly and trace that history exactly before proposing a fix.

> On Windows each system property read has a space char as the last char of string.
> This causes failures when the property represents a directory name.  Calling 
> tmp.toPath().toRealPath() in this situation.
> ServerEnvironment line, 434  Path resolved = tmp.toPath().toRealPath();
