GlassFish Users,
For GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1 release, we are planning to
not-allow backslash (\) in resource names. Please let me know if you
think this would be problem for you.
*Background
*"In the current implementation, there seem to be an issue in grizzly
due to which resources (jdbc/connector/mail/admin-object/custom/jndi)
that has "\" in their names result in failures and hence REST/GUI is not
able to display the resources list properly in admin console." [Jagadish]
"In general, allowing backslashes as they are (not replacing with
slashes) in URLs, could lead to security problems. In some OSes "\"
could be a part of file name, in Windows it's a path separator. So it's
potential hole in security. " [Oleksiy]
Thanks.
