Hi Ben, this is exactly the question. As these directories are created and used by other software changing the # sign to something else involves modifications to these programs and therefore hours/days of work too. I've decided to put in a few hours to evaluate the situation before making a conclusion.
Can anybody confirm the #-sign is a reserved char (maybe because the classloader is a URL-Classloader and #'s in URLs are used for anchors) for tomcat - but not for java itself anymore? Even if it's a tomcat bug but would be marked as "will not fix" for whatever reasons i'm fine. Just want to have all available informations/ statements before i open bug report. Has anybody been able to start a tomcat server from such a directory? kind regards, Markus ben short wrote: > Why not just change it to /export/home/markus/tomcat_1 or something > and be done with it.
