java.lang.IllegalArgumentException because of bad chars


Thorsten Gau (8621212) | asked Jun 30 '11, 6:01 p.m.
Despite clear written guidance, some user put characters like
/ \ :
in folder names. Unfortunately the RTC 3.0.1 Web Client accepts those.

This results in bad bavior with the Eclipse Client.
Is this a known RTC defect?
Any idea how to fix this before it's fixed in a future release?
I am thinking of a check-in rule that blocks bad characters.

Error
An internal error occurred during: "Loading repository items".
