Glen Mazza commented on JSPWIKI-870:
------------------------------------
Albrecht, why would you put a space in your location for Tomcat? That usually
brings up lots of headaches with WARs, not just JSPWiki...
> JSPWiki does not start, if tomcat directory path contains a white space
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JSPWIKI-870
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-870
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Authentication & Authorization
> Affects Versions: 2.10.1
> Environment: Bug found on a mac, but is probably platform independent.
> Reporter: Albrecht Striffler
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: decode, policy
>
> As described, JSPWiki does not start if run from a directory containing a
> white space in its path. The problem is, that the policy file is not
> found/accepted.
> The jspwiki.log contains the following stack trace:
> org.apache.wiki.api.exceptions.WikiException: JSPWiki: Unable to load and
> setup properties from jspwiki.properties. Failed to start managers: File
> /Programme/tomcat%20test/webapps/JSPWiki/WEB-INF/jspwiki.policy does not
> exist, or the SecurityManager prohibited access to it.
> at org.apache.wiki.WikiEngine.<init>(WikiEngine.java:440)
> at org.apache.wiki.WikiEngine.getInstance(WikiEngine.java:370)
> at org.apache.wiki.ui.WikiServletFilter.init(WikiServletFilter.java:82)
> at
> org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterConfig.initFilter(ApplicationFilterConfig.java:279)
> ..
> As you can imagine, the problem is the %20 in tomcat%20test. The security
> manager will check if this file exists, but because of the %20, does not find
> anything. Of course, the correct file path would be "/Programme/tomcat
> test/webapps/JSPWiki/WEB-INF/jspwiki.policy".
> I debugged a little bit and think a fix could be very easy: In the
> AuthorizationManager, the policyFile is instantiated in line 499 using
> File policyFile = new File( policyURL.getPath() );
> The URL contains the encoded white space and getPath() unfortunately does not
> decode.
> Either the returned path is decoded manually or the URL is transformed into a
> URI (using toURI()) and then getPath() is called on the URI which returns a
> decoded path.
> Since this bug was not present in JSPWiki 2.8.x, I guess this URL was an URI
> in the past...
> Help very much appreciated, this is currently pretty much a blocker for us...
