Need to override OS file separator without changing code [message #1728180]

Prod code runs on UNIX, but need to run local DEV on windows.

The current code gets a path in UNIX format from a DB then builds on that path using file.separator which adds windows separators causing the ftp to fail as path for target is formatted incorrectly. ex: /incoming/ri-etl\DEV\Rulebooks/tate_rbid_1715_retest

/incoming/ri-etl from a DB setting

\DEV\Rulebooks built in code using file separator.

Since other team uses MAC OS for Dev they do not see the issue locally. Tried to overide the path.separator using -DFile.Separator=\/ (and other variations) in Tomact ARGS, JAVA_OPTS and CATALINA OPTS with no success.

I think if I can force the UNIX format Windows will accept and FTP will work. FTP will not accept a path all built in the WINDOWS format.

I am running TOMCAT from within ECLIPSE (TOMCAT 8, Java 7, Eclipse MARS).

Any ideas?

This really isn't an Eclipse question; you'd do better to ask on a general programming forum such as stackoverflow.com
