Question

The VFS method cannot process this URI ${jboss.server.temp.dir}/local/outgoing configured in jboss-beans.xml which is resolved to "C:\\Download\\jboss-eap-5.1.1\\server\\default\\tmp/local/outgoing" by JBoss. When I try to resolve the URI and get the file, it throws an exception. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Exception

  -- this method cannot process the string and throws
     throw new FileSystemException("vfs.impl/find-rel-file.error", uri);

Answer 1

I think it needs the file: scheme because the error says it’s asumed to be relative.
