H2 Web Console Not Working

[Rich Naylor]

I am attempting to upgrade H2 from v1.3.175 to v1.4.187 in order to obtain bug fixes from the 1.3 code base. I do not want to switch to the mvstore system at this time and was advised to add a switch MV_STORE=FALSE to my connect string. Everything seems functional so far, except I can no longer access the database using the H2 web console. I receive the following error when using the h2-1.4.187.jar

A file path that is implicitly relative to the current working directory is not allowed in the database URL 

"jdbc:h2:\Progra~2\Inform~1\data\process-engine-db\ProcessEngine;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;MVCC=TRUE;MV_STORE=FALSE". 

Use an absolute path, ~/name, ./name, or the baseDir setting instead. [90011-187] 90011/90011 (Help)

I am able to create a new database with the console, and it does create a db_name.mv.db file for the new schema.  I have a feeling that the web console is attempting to append the mvstore (.mv) extension to my JDBC URL and producing an improper connection string as a result.

Any suggestions to work around this issue ?

I think I may have figured out the problem. If I change the URL to contain the drive letter, I am now able to access the database from the web console. This was not necessary in 1.3.175, which lead to some confusion when I tried to use the new console. So changing the URL to the following seems to work for me

jdbc:h2:c:\Progra~2\Inform~1\data\process-engine-db\ProcessEngine;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;MVCC=TRUE;MV_STORE=FALSE
