      wlxt://type/folder.../name
      Where:
          type        ==> the type of the document.  Supported
                          types are mfl, dtd, xsd, xslt, and class.
          folder...   ==> optional levels of folder information.
          name        ==> the name of the document.

Method Detail

create

public static java.net.URL create(java.lang.String url)
                           throws java.net.MalformedURLException

Create a URL representing a document in the WLXT repository. Use of this method avoids having to install a global protocol handler in order to create WLXT Repository URL's. The method may be called as:

    URL url = RepositoryURL.create("wlxt://mfl/myMFLdocument");

 

If the global URL handler is desired the following property must be set when starting the Java Virtual Machine:

      -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.bea.wlxt.repository.protocol

 

After installing this property the above URL creation may be coded as:

      URL url = new URL("wlxt://mfl/myMFLdocument");

 

Parameters:

url - A URL string of the form wlxt://type/documentpath.

Returns:

a URL object that may be used to retrieve the requested docuemnt.
