Field Detail

FILE_PROTOCOL_PREFIX

public static final java.lang.String FILE_PROTOCOL_PREFIX
the file protocol prefix for systemid. This file protocol must be appended to an absolute path. Typically: FILE_PROTOCOL_PREFIX + file.getAbsolutePath() This is not correct in specification terms since an absolute url in Unix is file:// + file.getAbsolutePath() while it is file:/// + file.getAbsolutePath() under Windows. Whatever, it should not be a problem to put file:/// in every case since most parsers for now incorrectly makes no difference between it.. and users also have problem with that :)
