Hi all,

I have posted this in the user list, but got no response.

Please pardon the .piz attachment. Change the attachment file type .zip and
extract.

I am running a junit test in ant that uses a java.net.URL third party
protocol. The java.net.URL fails to find third party protocol when the test
is run in junit ant task.

New protocol handlers can be easily added by having them placed in the same
package ("sun.net.www.protocol") as the java pre-defined protocols (ftp,
http, https, etc - for more information see
http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/protocolhandlers/).

For testing purposes, I have created a simple class named SCPTest.java (see
below) that creates a url using the custom scp protocol and has the jar
containing the scp protocolhandler included in the execution classpath. When
executed, the url object gets created with the scp protocol.

When a simple junit test named TestURLProtocolLoading.java (see below) that
does exactly the same as the SCPTest.java class is executed under junit ant
(see build.xml below), the test ends-up failing with the error message of
“unknown protocol: scp”.

According to http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#delegating-classloader, “When
you specify a nested <classpath> in Ant, Ant creates a new class loader that
uses the path you have specified. It then tries to load additional classes
from this classloader.”
Because of this, it seems like my jar containing the scp protocol handler is
not getting loaded by ant’s classloader.

Things I have tried:
 - Adding the jar containing the custom protocol to ANT_HOME/lib.
 - Adding the <jvmarg
value="-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=sun.net.www.protocol"/> to the junit
task in hopes that the protocol would get picked up, it did not.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Ant 1.7.0
Junit 3.8.1
JDK 1.5.0_14

NOTE: The following tests assume JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment
variables are set.

To run the tests first run the compile.bat script.
