[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=292949#comment-292949 ] 

Joakim Erdfelt commented on JETTY-1492:
---------------------------------------

Actually, it's not unix specific, its Runtime.exec() specific.
The arguments for it must be properly quoted/escaped for it to work.

Wish I could flag bugs on jira as 'valid' or 'confirmed'

>             Project: Jetty
>          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
