heroku : java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot handle (64) '#' - heroku

Question

I'm trying to deploying a java app to Heroku.
It use a enviroment variable such as postgres://foo:foo#heroku.com/hellodb to config database in the spring applicationcontext.xml https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/spring-mvc-hibernate#modify_database_configuration
I follow the document,config it,and set the DATABASE_URL use set DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:huang#heroku.com/yan（windows）.
But when i run it locally,i got a Error：
creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is o
rg.springframework.beans.factory.BeanExpressionException: Expression parsing fai
led; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot handle (64) '#'
my spring xml is this:
`<bean class="java.net.URI" id="dbUrl">
<constructor-arg value="#{systemEnvironment['DATABASE_URL']}" />
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<property name="url"
value="#{ 'jdbc:postgresql://' + #dbUrl.getHost() + #dbUrl.getPath() }" />
<property name="username" value="#{ #dbUrl.getUserInfo().split(':')[0] }" />
<property name="password" value="#{ #dbUrl.getUserInfo().split(':')[1] }" />
</bean>`
it seems the spring container cannot handle the '#' symbol ,but i really do not know how to deal it! I searched in google,but i got anything.
Does anyone know how to deal it ? thanks!

Answer 1

yeah，i fix it!!!
the official document has a error!!!
i just remove the "#" symbol,and it works
this spring xml is like this:
<bean class="java.net.URI" id="dbUrl">
<constructor-arg value="#{systemEnvironment['DATABASE_URL']}" />
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<property name="url"
value="#{ 'jdbc:postgresql://' + dbUrl.getHost() + dbUrl.getPath() }" />
<property name="username" value="#{ dbUrl.getUserInfo().split(':')[0] }" />
<property name="password" value="#{ dbUrl.getUserInfo().split(':')[1] }" />
</bean>
i will write a letter to report this error
