Error parsing files, when filename contains german umlauts

["Amthauer, Heiner" <He...@t-systems.com>]

Hi there!

(Using Xerces 2.0.2, JRE 1.3.1_02)

I discovered an error, when parsing xml files when their name contains
german umlauts. The call to the SAXParser is:

saxParser.parse(new File(file), this);

As one can see, the File(..) itself is created before the parser is called.
One should assume, that the parser does not care about the filename.
However, when parsing the file, I get the following exception:

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: GBB_Datenmodell.dtd
        at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)

:756)
        at
org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDTDScannerImpl.setInputSource(XMLDTDScannerImpl.ja
va:267)
        ....

By renaming the file, avoiding umlauts (not touching the files contents),
the file can be parsed perfectly nice.

One way to solve this is by not using german umlauts. However, our customer
will not accept the fact that he should have such restrictions on a windows
system nowadays.

I would appreciate any hint about solving this problem.

Heiner
