I call getClass().getResource("name") and receive the following
URL: systemresource:/+/COM/ims/name. This then yields a
malformed URL exception when I try to oepn the URL. I can
call getClass().getResourceAsStream("name") and open the URL
without problems. Unfortunately, I need to be able to open an
OutputStream as well as an InputStream.

Here is a program that can be used to duplicate the problem:

package COM.ims;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Properties;

class ApplicationProperties extends Properties
{

public
ApplicationProperties()
{
    super();
}

public
ApplicationProperties(
    Properties properties)
{
    super(properties);
}

public synchronized void
load()
    throws IOException
{
    init();
    load(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
}

public synchronized void
save(
    String header)
    throws IOException
{
    init();
    save(url.openConnection().getOutputStream(), header);
}

private URL url;

private final void
init()
{
    if (url == null) {
url = getClass().getResource("myResources.properties");
System.out.println(url);
InputStream in =
getClass().getResourceAsStream("myResources.properties");
System.out.println("Got resources as stream");
    }
}

static public void
main(
    String[] args)
{
    try {
ApplicationProperties appProperties = new ApplicationProperties();
appProperties.load();

String dataPath = appProperties.getProperty("dataPath", ".");
System.out.println(dataPath);

appProperties.put("dataPath", System.getProperty("java_home"));
appProperties.save("Properties title");
System.out.println("Saved properties");
    }
    catch (IOException exception) {
System.out.println("Caught " + exception);
    }
}

}

Here is the script I use to run the program:

#!/bin/ksh

export JAVA_HOME=/ims/java/jdk1.1
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

export CLASSPATH=
export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:.
export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:../..
export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip

java COM.ims.ApplicationProperties $*

Here is the output from the program:

systemresource:/+/COM/ims/myResources.properties
Got resources as stream
Caught java.net.MalformedURLException: systemresource:/+/COM/ims/myResources.properties is not a valid system resource URL
