Hi,
It was suggested on the Lenya mailing list that I forward the following to
avalon mailing list.
It about URI resolving and Lenya not running on Windows. Lenya depends on
org.apache.excalibur.source.impl.FileSource to work with uri's for files and
involves the age old <SPACE> issue with Windows file system vs. other OS for
uri's. See below.
