But isn't that the whole point. If the URI really is a URL
then the handler extends AbstractURLHandler and gets
(or it can reimplement it).

But if it is not really URL based then the handler
has to provide its own implementation.
i.e. a mapping to the real resource it is trying to represent with the 
more logical URI.

The real issue is whether you also need
to write a URLStreamHandler besides the virtual file stuff.
