You can pretty much always use forward slashes (solidus) in file URLs -- I've had success with both jview and the JDK. Here's the routine that the latest version of SAXDemo uses to construct an absolute URL when necessary (James helped out with some changes): /** * If a URL is relative, make it absolute against the current directory. */ private static String makeAbsoluteURL (String url) throws java.net.MalformedURLException { URL baseURL; String currentDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir"); String fileSep = System.getProperty("file.separator"); String file = currentDirectory.replace(fileSep.charAt(0), '/') + '/'; if (file.charAt(0) != '/') { file = "/" + file; } baseURL = new URL("file", null, file); return new URL(baseURL, url).toString(); } > The number of possible combinations I have to test is: > (java95/jview95/Netscape95/MSIE95/javaUX/NetscapeUX/MSIEUX/javaMAC/NetscapeM > AC)*(jvc/javac). I expected the same with AElfred, but was surprised to find that it wasn't the case -- the difference, I think, is that I wasn't working with a GUI. > - using full URLs instead of scene1.sgm (I think it should work without > the ancillary files) I tried that, but without luck. > - or load jumbo without a file on the command line and use File | "Open > XML" to read in scene1.sgm I get a null URL error in a popup dialog (but see below). > - or try from a different directory. ("." in the classpath may cause > problems) The last two together work -- if I give an absolute file URL _and_ start outside of JUMBO's home directory, I can view my document. Nice browser. Just a minor note -- I get a class cast error when I try to enable "Show #PCDATA". All the best, David -- David Megginson ak117@f...
