This one's from the latest SAXDemo.java, incorporating modifications
suggested by James Clark:

  /**
    * 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();
  }



All the best,


David
