[jetty-dev] [jira] (JETTY-1492) Specifying -D option in start.ini puts slashes in file path on windows when starting

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JETTY-1492?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=292947#comment-292947 ]

------------------------------------

Hi Joakim,

Using the forward slash syntax:
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/krb5.conf

Results in this:
"-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/Program\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Tomcat\ 5.5/krb5.conf"


If I quote the start.ini sections (they were not quoted before) then it excludes them in the spawned java jre command line.


It's funny, because the -Djetty.home parameter in the spawned java jre contains spaces in the command line:
(although it's not specified in the start.ini)

"-Djetty.home=C:\Program Files\Jetty\jetty-distribution-8.1.1.v20120215"

There must be some magic processing in the start.jar that is unix specific that's getting applied when it shouldn't..

>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: Eclipse Jetty distribution 8.1.1.v20120215, Windows XP SP3
>            Reporter: Jamie Maher
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: startup, windows
>
> Adding the following options in the start.ini:
> --exec
> -Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\krb5.conf
> -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\cas_jaas.conf
> Causes the java jre to be spawned with the following command line args:
> "-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Program\ Files\Apache\ Software\ Foundation\Tomcat\ 5.5\cas_jaas.conf"
> "-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\Program\ Files\Apache\ Software\ Foundation\Tomcat\ 5.5\krb5.conf"
> (notice the extra escaping slashes which probably work fine under unix, but messes up windows)
> JAAS fails to work with the options specified above.
> If I move the files to a folder without spaces and change the start.ini then it works fine, eg:
> -Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\jaas\krb5.conf
> -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\jaas\cas_jaas.conf
