While researching my problem with Virgo deployment on Windows paths containing spaces (*) I am trying to fix a URISyntaxException during Tomcat startup (**) . The path "E:/Program Files/VMware/vCenter Server/WebClient/server" comes from the catalina.base property but I can't find how this property is defined in the Virgo setup. Does anyone knows? I was hoping that replacing the spaces with %20 would solve my problem on Windows!
Thanks,
--Laurent

Hi,

If your problem is only with the global web.xml then you can move it from org.eclipse.gemini.web.tomcat_2.2.2.RELEASE.jar bundle - see [1].
If you want to redefine catalina.base then use

set catalina.base=<path>

Regards
Violeta

Hi Violeta,
Thanks for your reply. I assume you mean to use "set catelina.base=<path>" on the command line.
In this case Virgo is being installed as part of our product so I need to configure the value of catelina.base ahead of time. Do you know where this property is defined during the Virgo startup?

Can't you use setenv.bat file?
You can place it in bin folder.

catalina.base is not defined, by default it points to user.dir [1].

Violeta

I have same problem. My virgo ( 3.6.2 ) installed in directory that has a space (C:\Customer 1\virgo)
I'm getting error from org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig Error processed default web.xml named conf/web.xml at c:\Customer 1\virgo\conf\web.xml java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 17: file:/c:/Customer 1/virgo/./work/deployer/s/global/13/0/org.eclipse.gemini.web.tomcat_2.2.2.RELEASE.jar/conf/web.xml

I tried to re-define catalina.base property. (-Dcatalina.base="C:/Customer 1/virgo" )

Getting same error.

I run Virgo as windows tanuki service. I can not run startup.bat script.

Thanks for your thoughts.
Gary
