Windows Paths

[Brad O'Hearne <ca...@megapathdsl.net>]

Hello all...

I am trying to figure out what the proper format is to specify an absolute
path on a Windows platform as the URI for the parse method.  If I have an
XMLReader called parser, the following:

parser.parse("c:\test\data.xml");

will not work.  I am finding this same issue a bit of an problem when trying
to resolve the dtd in the EntityResolver as well, since the resolveEntity
method is receiving a systemId that includes path info, as in
file:///test/dtd/data.dtd.  Specifically, on a Windows platform, how do you
include the drive letter in the URI?

Thanks in advance.

I must still be missing something. Neither

parser.parse("c:/test/data.xml");

or

parser.parse("file://c:/test/data.xml");

are working.  They are both causing a NullPointerException to be thrown,
same as the "c:\test\data.xml" string below.

Any other ideas, or have I missed something?

Brad

Brad, use forward slashes ... c:/a/b/c
