      1) create a Windows network share such as "shared" on a machine
      2) move a web application to that share, such as jmx-console.war
      3) edit $PROFILE/conf/bootstrap/profile.xml to add "file:////127.0.0.1/shared" in applicationURIs
      4) start JBoss

    Description

      Adding a new deployment directory on a UNC path (i.e. Windows file share) does not work.

      TomcatDeployment currently converts the url in String form to a path by using new URL(stringUrl).getPath(), rather than simply chopping off the leading file:, and this causes problems with deployments accessed via Windows UNC paths because of the URL classes bad handling of those. The issue can also be fixed by solving JBVFS-160 so the URL string gets generated with extra slashes.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. JBVFS-160 FileSystemContext.getFileURI returns wrong URI for UNC paths on Windows

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
