Field Detail

INVALID_CHARACTERS

public static final java.lang.String[] INVALID_CHARACTERS

A list of invalid characters that can't exist within filenames. If they appear then the DiskCache will escape them. The current list is in part based on Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q177506 (because DOS filesystems are more generally limited than UNIX filesystems). SGP: Windows NT refuses to take "?", so I add it to the list. Additionally, if we encode "?", the jdk runtime logic decodes it twice for "file:" urls, giving a filename with a space in it. I have fixed it in JetspeedDiskCacheEntry.java, avoiding the creation of a new URL when getFile() is not null.
