metadata values

Binding: Java

Atmos onLine

I looked for guidelines around this in the Programmers guide but if I missed these apologize -

1. When uploading a file using UploadHelper to an objectpath, if the filename has spaces, a signature mismatch error is thrown. Does this mean that all filenames must be stripped off spaces.

2. Can objectpath names (directory names) contain spaces? I am getting errors when trying to create one.

3. The binding allows a user to set a metadata value with a ampersand (&) in it. But trying to access the metadata results in a XML parsing error -
