Error Building Java Application

[Fred Victa]

I attempted to compile a Java application and I received an error that said, "java.net.urisyntaxexception illegal character in path at index 18." What does this error mean and how do I find index 18? I have a friend who compiled the same Java application on his computer, but he did not receive any errors. Can anyone explain why I got an error when compiling the application, but not my friend? We both tried to compile the same Java application and we are using the same version of Java.

[Mary Chellapa]

can you put code here ?

Here is the file that is giving me the error. This file is a part of the project that I'm trying to build.

Right. And the code that's throwing the exception?

[Fred Victa]

I found out why I was getting that error. My code was getting that error because there was a whitespace in the directory path of my project.

My code was found in this location: D:\cvs\Web Services\Project

Since there was a whitespace character between "Web" and "Services", I was getting that error. I removed the whitespace in the directory path of my project and I'm no longer getting that error.
