I'm using JDOM with SAXBuilder to parse XML files, and I have a problem with a file which is throwing this error :
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: c

at com.foo.moo.MyClass.getValues(MyClass.java:321)
And the line is :
Document document = null;
document = sxb.build(files.elementAt(i)); // This one
After doing some research on the internet, I think the error is related to Java 1.6.
What do you think ?
My first guess is that you are loading a local file, like: "c:/mylocalfile.xml"
But this URL does not contain the protocol, like http://
, ftp://
or file://
Try file://c:/mylocalfile.xml
