Hello all, I have this use case: I'm developing a web applicaton that makes an RMI call to a server. If I have a standalone Tomcat instance, and deploy the war to it, it works fine.
However, when I use the maven-tomcat-plugin I get a MalformedURLException. Searching for this problem online there is some information like: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4496398 The problem's cause is that one or more jars from the classpath contain spaces in their path. This is indeed so, since all the maven dependencies are in the form: C:\Documents and Settings\user\.m2\..... (The exception is: MalformedURLException: unkown protocol: and) However there must be some bug with Tomcat (the maven plugin uses version 6.0.16), because when using the maven-jetty-plugin this problem doesn't occur. If you debug and set a breakpoint in the method java.rmi.server.RMIClassLoader.newDefaultProviderInstance(), you'll notice that the spaces in the codebase URLs are not escaped, whereas with Jetty they are. Could someone confirm if this is a bug, or if there is a workaround? Cheers, Tomás
