Matthew Bellew commented on VFS-840: ------------------------------------ I've just hit this, in trying to sort this out I discovered various JDK and VFS inconsistencies (alluded to above). In trying to make the simplest repro I found 5 chars that are poison to LocalFIle.getPath(). They are ?[]{} This is a challenge for adopting VFS because I'd have to somehow enforce that across the entire codebase no one uses FileObject.getPath() and always use FileObject.getName(). {quote}java.util.List<String> bad = java.util.Arrays.asList( "file:///%3F", // /? this fails differently than the others (getURI() is OK) "file:///%5B", // /[ "file:///%5D", // /] "file:///%7B", // /{ "file:///%7D" // /} ); for (String uriString : bad) { // TRY ENCODED out.println(uriString); try { FileObject fo = VFS.getManager().resolveFile(uriString); fo.getName().getPathDecoded(); fo.getURI(); fo.getPath(); } catch (Exception x) { out.println(x.getClass().getName() + " " + x.getMessage()); } // TRY DECODED out.println(URI.create(uriString).getPath()); try { FileObject fo = VFS.getManager().resolveFile(URI.create(uriString).getPath()); fo.getName().getPathDecoded(); fo.getURI(); fo.getPath(); } catch (Exception x) { out.println(x.getClass().getName() + " " + x.getMessage()); } } {quote} > IllegalArgumentException when using special characters in filename eg [ or ] > and calling FileObject.getPath method > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: VFS-840 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-840 > Project: Commons VFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.9.0 > Environment: Windows 10 > Java 17 > Apache VFS 2.9.0 > Reporter: Usman Ashraf Bajwah > Priority: Major > > When special characters ([ or ] for example there might be others also) are > used in filename FileObject resolve it alright but calling its getPath method > fails with following exception. > > +java.lang.IllegalArgumentException+{color:#ff0000}: Illegal character in > path at index 17: file:///D:/citrus[1].jpg{color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI.create({color}+URI.java:906+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject.getURI({color}+FileObject.java:310+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject.getPath({color}+FileObject.java:320+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > com.gallerysystems.tms.common.util.FileUtil.main({color}+FileUtil.java:859+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000}Caused by: > {color}+java.net.URISyntaxException+{color:#ff0000}: Illegal character in > path at index 17: file:///D:/citrus[1].jpg{color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI$Parser.fail({color}+URI.java:2974+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI$Parser.checkChars({color}+URI.java:3145+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI$Parser.parseHierarchical({color}+URI.java:3227+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI$Parser.parse({color}+URI.java:3175+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI.<init>({color}+URI.java:623+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} at > java.base/java.net.URI.create({color}+URI.java:904+{color:#ff0000}){color} > {color:#ff0000} ... 3 more{color} > > Following is the code to reproduce the issue. > {color:#7f0055}try{color}{color:#000000} {{color} > {color:#000000} String {color}{color:#6a3e3e}fileName{color}{color:#000000} = > {color}{color:#2a00ff}"D:\\citrus[1].jpg"{color}{color:#000000};{color} > {color:#000000} FileSystemManager > {color}{color:#6a3e3e}fsManager{color}{color:#000000} = > VFS.{color}{color:#000000}getManager{color}{color:#000000}();{color} > {color:#000000} FileObject > {color}{color:#6a3e3e}fileObject{color}{color:#000000} = > {color}{color:#6a3e3e}fsManager{color}{color:#000000}.resolveFile({color}{color:#6a3e3e}fileName{color}{color:#000000});{color} > {color:#000000} > System.{color}{color:#0000c0}out{color}{color:#000000}.println({color}{color:#6a3e3e}fileObject{color}{color:#000000}.getPath());{color} > {color:#000000} }{color}{color:#7f0055}catch{color}{color:#000000}(Exception > {color}{color:#6a3e3e}ex{color}{color:#000000}) {{color} > {color:#000000} > {color}{color:#6a3e3e}ex{color}{color:#000000}.printStackTrace();{color} > {color:#000000} }{color} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
