Problem with InputSource in XML with Xerces 1.1.3

[trinko <tr...@pacbell.net>]

My code works fine with Xerces 1.1.1.

I get a full file path using a java file dialog.  I create an InputSource 
using that file path.  I then try and parse it.  I get a fatal SAX error 
saying that the file wasn't found.  Clearly the file exists because I 
used the AWT file dialog to select it. The code looks basically like 
this, leaving out the error handler and features setting stuff

file_path = fd.getDirectory() + fd.getFile();
InputSource is = new InputSource(file_path);
DOMParser d = new DOMParser();
d.parse(is);

a typical value of file_path would be 
/disk/folder/folder/folder/folder/file name.  the full path can be long.

I didn't see any mention of changes to InputSource between 1.1.1 and 
1.1.3.  Any idea on what's wrong or how I can work around it?

There wasn't any change in the InputSoruce class. We have started
using a URI class instead of java.net.URL so that we're more
conformant with the XML spec. Check the FAQ in the documentation 
for more details.
