No, that doesn't create a stream. It just constructs a new URL 
object. If you want to get a stream (You don't have to) then you 
would call openStream() on the new object.

YOu should also check out the new java.net.URI class in Java 1.4:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/net/URI.html

The following methods are particularly interesting:

public URI resolve(URI uri)
public URI resolve(String uri)

These return the absolute form of the uri argument using the current 
URI object as the context. Isn't this what you want?
