FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java Web Start 1.4.2 Console, started Thu Jan 08 15:47:29 MST 2004
Java 2 Runtime Environment: Version 1.4.2_01 by Sun Microsystems Inc.

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
WebStart does not report a valid URL for resources.

Execute the following code:

System.out.println(getClass().getClassLoader().getResources("resourcename"));

When running this in 1.4.2_05 and J2se 5.0-beta2 from the command line you will get a URL that looks like this:

jar:file:/C:/myjar.jar!/resourcename

However, execute this same code when running inside WebStart and you get:

jar:file:C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/.javaws/cache/http/Dhost/Pport/RMmyjar.jar!/resourcename

Note the missing forward-slash after the protocol

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a JAR with the class file and a sample test.txt resource file.
2. Execute this with command line java -jar resource.jar
3. Execute the same JAR under webstart using the sample JNLP file provided.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
jar:file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/.javaws/cache/http/Dhost/Pport/RMmyjar.jar!/resourcename
ACTUAL -
jar:file:C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/.javaws/cache/http/Dhost/Pport/RMmyjar.jar!/resourcename

There is a missing slash after "file:"

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Look for the missing forward-slash and add it back programatically.
