Product Version: WebSphere Application Server V7.0
Operating System: Windows

Problem title

wsadmin.bat is unable to handle multiple spaces in Path
character when defining the shared library path.
.
Problem description
We have to define a shared library for our j2ee application.
When the shared library is installed in a directory with a
single space, it works fine..

Example : c:\Program Files\IBM\tivoli\lib it works fine

When we try to define the library with 2 spaces the
configuration fails.

Example c:\Program Files\JDBC Drivers


We have tried "c:/Program Files/JDBC Drivers"
"C:/Program Files/JDBC Drivers/"

The libraries.xml does not have proper information.



Our python scripts contains the following


def setSharedLibrary(nodeName, serverName, sharedLibDir,
appName,
cellName):
global AdminConfig
print 'setSharedLibrary:nodeName ' + nodeName
n1 = AdminConfig.getid("/Cell:" + cellName +
"/Node:"+nodeName+"/");
print 'setSharedLibrary:sharedLibDir ' + sharedLibDir
library = AdminConfig.create('Library', n1, [['name',
'impactSharedLibrary'], 'classPath',sharedLibDir]]);
print 'setSharedLibrary:appName ' + appName
deployment = AdminConfig.getid("/Deployment:" + appName);
appDeploy = AdminConfig.showAttribute(deployment,
'deployedObject');
classLoad1 = AdminConfig.showAttribute(appDeploy,
'classloader');
AdminConfig.create('LibraryRef',classLoad1,
[['libraryName','impactSharedLibrary']]);
AdminConfig.save();
print 'setSharedLibrary successful'
return



sharedLibDir = sys.argv[2]

sharedLibDirEsc = '\"' + sharedLibDir + '\"'

setSharedLibrary(nodeName, serverName, sharedLibDirEsc, appName,
cellName)

The wsadmin tool is unable to handle multiple spaces in the
classpath when creating the shared libary such as
"C:/Program Files/JDBC Driver/test.jar"

Problem conclusion

It is a bug in wsadmin code when creating a shared library and
the libary classpath contains multiple spaces in the
path string such as "C:/Program Files/JDBC Driver/test.jar".
The path would be broken into separate paths by the spaces.

The correct syntaxes to define a shared libary classpath
containing multiple spaces are:

Using Jacl:

Enclose with additional {} or quotes:
$AdminConfig create Library $node {{name test1} {classPath
{"C:/Program Files/JDBC Driver/test.jar"}}}
or
$AdminConfig create Library $node {{name test2} {classPath
"'C:/Program Files/JDBC Driver/test.jar'"}}

Using Jython:

Enclose with additional [] or quotes:
AdminConfig.create('Library', node,
[['name','test2'],['classPath',['C:/Program Files/JDBC
Driver/test.jar']]])
or
AdminConfig.create('Library', node,
[['name','test2'],['classPath',"'C:/Program Files/JDBC
Driver/test.jar'"]])

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.21 and 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the
