Description

We recently upgraded to struts 2.5.2. Now we have the problem that tiles is trying to load any tiles*.xml resource on the classpath for definitions, which is actually great.

The problem occurs when the absolute path to the definitions contains spaces. For example C:/Program Files/.../webapps/context/WEB-INF/classes/tiles.xml.

This causes:

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 18: file:///C:/Program Files/.../webapps/context/WEB-INF/classes/tiles.xml

Looks like the spaces should be escaped with %20 maybe.
