By default, the Tomcat 5 for Windows installation installs to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0, so by default, the installation path includes spaces.
Derek -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 8, 2003 11:16 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat 5.0.12, Windows, and file pathnames Not sure of the exact problem or why 5.0.9 works but 5.0.12 doesn't. However, I would recommend that you not install Tomcat to a path containing spaces. You are just asking for trouble. Also, why are resources in the classpath being modified? If you want to modify resources, you should have those resources under "WEB-INF/wikifiles" or something like that, not WEB-INF/classes. Better yet, define an context param which the deployer can override in a context configuration file which points to location outside the webapp to write files to. Doing this will keep you in-line with the servlet-spec and best practices.
