      In previous versions of JBoss EAP 5, a bug existed that prevented the server from starting if the installation path included Unicode characters. Upon encountering a path that contained a Unicode character, the server would exit with an error similar to the following:

      <screen>2012-05-16 10:59:20,599 ERROR [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] (main) Error installing to Instantiated: name=TransactionManager state=Described
      java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: /home/JBossEAP/حج/jboss-eap-5.1.2/jboss-as/server/default/conf/jbossts-properties.xml
      </screen>

      The root cause was traced to JBossTS and an upgrade of that component has resolved this issue.

      The installation directory of my JBoss EAP 5.1.2 contains a Unicode character like this "/home/JBossEAP/حج/jboss-eap-5.1.2/jboss-as/bin" .
      Due to this JBoss EAP server fails to start and it gives the following ERROR inside server.log .

      ..........

      This indicates that it could be the "TransactionManager" which is unable to understand the path with Unicode characters.
