J2EE agent installation prompts do not allow responses with leading or trailing spaces (6452708)

The installer for J2EE agents does not ignore leading and trailing spaces when you provide answers to prompts. This situation can cause a variety of problems. For example, if you include a leading or trailing space when pointing to a resource, the resource would not be recognized and an error message such as the following would be issued:

ERROR: Invalid Server Instance directory.

The preceding error message is one example. Any one of several messages could be issued depending upon the specific scenario.

Workaround: None. However, be aware of the situation and be sure not to include leading or trailing spaces when providing responses to installation prompts.
