------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem here is not with resolvefile method. it is correctly working as per
my understanding. The issue lies with getPath() method which is not encoding
the URI while converting it to get the Path. Resolving with your method may be
good if we have known directory from which we need to get the files. But my
scenario is different.
If I use your method still getPath giving me same error.
A path is given to the application which can be a local file system path, over
the network or UNC path. I have to get all the folders and files and collect
the information and then pass some of the files to another program/api for
further processing. Using apache VFS so we could include other schemes as well
in future. The easiest way for me is to give this path to get FileObject and
then hierarchically get the Path and other information. It is working fine but
when there are special characters in that its failing.
