Description Joelle Lam 2007-03-22 22:16:19 UTC 
An IllegalArgumentException occurs when you try to rename a jsp page name (in
the jsf framework) to an already existing file name.  For instance you start with:
page1.jsp and page2.jsp.  If you try to rename page1.jsp to page2.jsp (using
double click on the delegate nodes in the project window) you get the following
popup:  

A java.lang.IllegalArgumentException exception has occurred.
Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/issues.html, including a copy of
your messages.log file.
The messages.log file is located in your
C:\users\js138578\vwp_bin\src\visualweb\visualwebsuite\build\testuserdir\system
folder

However, when I do this same rename in web projects, I get a clean information
popup that says I can not rename it as such. 

I will attach the IllegalArgumentException.

Comment 2 Petr Pisl 2007-03-23 11:36:22 UTC 
Do you rename which data object? The jsp data object or the visual jsp data
object? From the exception is not clear and from your description it looks like
you are talking about the visual jsp.
Comment 3 Joelle Lam 2007-03-23 15:12:37 UTC 
It is the jsp dataobject. Simply create a web jsf project (not vwp framework). 
I get this exception in my development environment where vwp is not installed. 
Just rename the file to another filename which already exists.  You will see
this error as well.

Redo the exceptions attachment, previous one is not readable!
Comment 6 _ potingwu 2008-03-20 19:46:34 UTC 
It is not related to any framework implementation! I can reproduce it on a simple web project without any framework.

1. Create a simple web project without any framework
2. Add 2 JSP files, e.g., P1 and P2
3. Rename P1 to P2

Then you will see the exception I just attached and a dialog shows:
    "Cannot rename file P1.jsp in ... to P2.jsp"

I think the mesg should also mention the reason "P2.jsp already exists", and handle the exception properly.
