RE: [wtp-pmc] Critical Web services bug 161250 needed in WTP 1.5.2

[Chris Brealey <cbrealey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tim,
there's a patch in the bug, and it was
tentatively committed/released yesterday based on David's one vote at the
time, and with the usual proviso that we be prepared to retract it if anyone
objected. For some reason, it took nearly 24 hours for my emails to work
their way thru the wtp-dev and wtp-pmc mechanisms and get sent out to subscribers.

Cheers - CB.

Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.
Let us know when you have a patch. Sounds like this is serious enough to
require a re-spin.

Subject: [wtp-pmc] Critical Web services bug 161250 needed in WTP 1.5.2
Importance: High
 

PMC, 
a bug we found recently in WTP 1.5.2 has turned out to be much worse, 161250.
The bug causes the Web service wizard to throw an exception while checking
for the existence and currency of "webserviceutils.jar" in a
Web project to which Web service sample JSPs are about to be generated.
It occurs whenever spaces are involved in the installation path of the
platform. It occurs at the point we try to construct a java.net.URI from
a file: URL string that has non-encoded spaces (ie. " " instead
of "%20"). 

This is a regression, and while I try to figure out why we have not found
this before, is one I consider stop-ship for the release. We are in the
process of writing a simple patch since the root problem is quite basic
in nature, but I wanted to get this bug on the PMC's radar right away in
the hope of pre-starting the voting process. I'll post to wtp-dev &
wtp-pmc again once we have the patch applied to the bug and extremely well
tested. 

Sorry for the 11th hour alarm, and thanks for your support.
Cheers - CB.
