Description

If you go to a JAX-RS resource that contains a space in the path, the Apache CXF JAX-RS runtime returns a 404 response code. In the STDERR log, you'll see the following message:

Jan 1, 2011 3:05:01 PM org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.JAXRSUtils findTargetMethod
WARNING: .No operation matching request path /has%20space is found, HTTP Method : GET, ContentType : /, Accept : application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,image/png,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,/;q=0.5,.

The cause for this problem may be found in AbstractServerController.getBaseURL. It assumes pathInfo is always decoded but in the JAX-RS situation, it may actually still be encoded.

Relevant sample code + patch attached.
