The JaWS 1.0.1 allows to pass to application arguments with leading or trailing whitespaces. JaWS 1.2 trims they. See example.
So there is no way to pass such arguments to an application now.
This breaks comparability and is not specified in the specification
  


Example:
--------------- Test.java ----------------

import javax.swing.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

JFrame f = new JFrame("Test");
f.getContentPane().add (new JLabel("arg0 = \"" + args[0] + "\""));
f.setSize(200, 100);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}
