• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Here is my test result.
  
  Sample test script:-
  --------------------
  <project name="MyProject" default="all">
          <description>Stop/Start Server</description>
          <property name="wasHome"  location="C:/Program
  Files/IBM/WAS61/WebSphere/AppServer"/>
          <taskdef name="wsStopServer"
  classname="com.ibm.websphere.ant.tasks.StopServer"
  classpath="C:/Program
  Files/IBM/WAS61/WebSphere/AppServer/plugins/com.ibm.ws.runtime_6
  .1.0.jar
  "/>
          <taskdef name="wsStartServer"
  classname="com.ibm.websphere.ant.tasks.StartServer"
  classpath="C:/Program
  Files/IBM/WAS61/WebSphere/AppServer/plugins/com.ibm.ws.runtime_6
  .1.0.jar
  "/>
  <target name="stopserver1">
        <echo message="Stopping Server1...."/>
            <wsStopServer server="server1" username="wasadmin"
  password="wasadmin"/>
  </target>
  <target name="startserver1">
        <echo message="Starting Server1...."/>
            <wsStartServer server="server1"/>
  </target>
  </project>
  
  Output: error:
  --------------
  
  C:\Program Files\IBM\WAS61\WebSphere\AppServer\bin>ws_ant.bat -f
  C:\L2_Test\stop-start.xml stopserver1
  Buildfile: C:\L2_Test\stop-start.xml
  
  stopserver1:
       [echo] Stopping Server1....
  [stopServer] The java class is not found:
  Files\IBM\WAS61\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\configuratio
  n
  -Dcom.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL=file:C:\Program
  [stopServer] Java Result: 1
  
  The problem is not with the spaces in the directory but rather
  with this variable defined in the profiles setupCmdLine.bat
  file:
  
  SET OSGI_INSTALL=-Dosgi.install.area="%WAS_HOME%"
  
  with this is translated into an actual value the argument looks
  something like this:
  
  "C:\Program
  Files\IBM\WAS61\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\bin\java.exe"
  "-Dosgi.install.area=C:\Program
  Files\IBM\WAS61\WebSphere\AppServer\" [etc]
  
  The problem is the \" at the end of the string - this causes the
  functionality that parses the JVM arguments to fail.
  -D arguments would look like this:
  
  "C:\Program
  Files\IBM\WAS61\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\bin\java.exe"
  "-Dosgi.install.area=C:/Program
  Files/IBM/WAS61/WebSphere/AppServer/" [etc]
  
  when any of the Ant tasks are run via ws_ant.
  

Local fix

• Possible workaround would be shorter the path, or remove the
  slash.
  
  1) Removing the trailing slash
  2) switch the slashes to forward slashes
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application       *
  *                 Server version 6.1 ws_ant on the Microsoft   *
  *                 Windows operating system.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using ws_ant to run an Ant file    *
  *                      the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) may fail *
  *                                                              *
  *                      to launch stating that it cannot find   *
  *                      a class file that looks like a          *
  *                      directory name.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using ws_ant to run an Ant file the JVM may fail with an
  error similar to:
  
  [echo] Stopping Server1....
  [stopServer] The java class is not found:
  Files\IBM\WAS61\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\
  configuration
  -Dcom.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL=file:C:\Program
  [stopServer] Java Result: 1
  
  A few of the JVM system properties that are constructed for
  the underlying launch are directories that end with a
  backwards slash.  If the system property contains a space then
  Ant will automatically put quotes around the system property;
  However, if the value of the system property ends with a
  backward slash, resulting in a system property like
  "-Darg=C:\sample directory\", then the JVM will not be able to
  process the system property.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR is to ensure that, on Microsoft Windows,
  the system properties use a forward slash for JVM System
  Properties that contain a directory as the value.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Application Server fixpack 6.1.0.11.
