java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol

807589Nov 10 2008 — edited Nov 10 2008
Hi,
I have a url string and when I try to create an URL out of it this way 
URL urlOfFile= new URL(uRL);
but this is throwing an java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol....
Why do we get MalformedURLException exception and how to resolve it?

thanks

Put a protocol into the URL string. What you have clearly isn't a URL string at all. It should start with http: or ftp: or file: or any of a large number of other protocol specifiers.
