[jira] [Commented] (XMLCOMMONS-64) Windows pathnames with drive letters not handled correctly

["James Livingston (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLCOMMONS-64?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13173735#comment-13173735 ] 

James Livingston commented on XMLCOMMONS-64:
--------------------------------------------

The more correct fix for this and XMLCOMMONS-28 would be to simply use  "new File(path).toURI().toURL()". That takes care of Windows drive letters, Windows UNC paths, relative paths and so on.

As mentioned on XMLCOMMONS-28 it does require Java 1.4, but is Java 1.3 support that necessary in 2012?

> Patches for Catalog.java and FileURL.java
> While working with xml-commons-resolver, I discovered that the code
> does not handle pathnames that utilize window's driver letters.  The code
> appears to lose the "absoluteness" of the path, causing resolution of
> other entities/files to fail that have it for a base.
> Attached are patches to Catalog.java and FileURL.java that
> handles Windows drive-letter pathnames.
