Description From Bob Gaffaney 2005-03-23 08:50:37

for a job submission on windows, gram does not like either the drive 
letter/colon or the back slashes in the stdout/stderr tags. Jarek says this 
should work.

I have included examples of both situations below.

The workaround is to use frontslashes, which works, but there is no way to 
specify other than the current drive.

------- Comment #1 From Peter Lane 2005-05-17 18:08:14 -------

I can't reproduce this error since I don't have a Windows port.  Bob, I think
you'll just have to debug it yourself as a part of the porting process.  I can
help where I can, but I don't see how I'm going to be able to do much with this
directly.

------- Comment #2 From Peter Lane 2005-05-17 18:11:55 -------

Actually, I was doing something different.  Ignore my last comment.

------- Comment #3 From Peter Lane 2005-05-17 18:29:11 -------

This appears to be a limitation in the GlobusURL class.  I'm reassigning to
Jarek.

------- Comment #4 From Jarek Gawor 2005-05-18 00:36:16 -------

This is not a bug GlobusURL. URLs in general use / slashes. The executable, 
stdout, stderr, etc. values must be first translated into the right URL format 
(the value cannot just be passed to the URL/URI class). Doing (new File
(executable)).toURL() should work.

------- Comment #5 From Peter Lane 2005-05-18 15:28:19 -------

Fixes in trunk and globus_4_0_branch.

The problem was the mapping code that converted the paths to gsiftp URLs.  They
should all map correctly now, with all '\' characters converted to "%5C" in the
stdoutUrl and stderrUrl resource properties to satisfy URI compliance.
