MalformedURLException for "jndi" protocol
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-3759
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3759
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Web (Tomcat) service
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA
         Environment: Liinux (SuSE 10)
JVM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_11-b06, mixed mode)
            Reporter: PickATrail

I am getting a MalformedURLException when I instantiate a URL with the "jndi" protocol.  Here's some example JSP code:

    final ServletContext ctx = session.getServletContext();
    final String resourcePath = "/WEB-INF/web.xml";

    final URL url = ctx.getResource(resourcePath);
    final String externalForm = url.toExternalForm();

    // The value of externalForm is something like
    // "jndi:/localhost/problem/WEB-INF/web.xml".

    // The following line fails under some specifi situation
    // -- read on :)
    new URL(externalForm);

This code usually works as expected.  However, if I deploy and access the BIRT WebViewerExample application (BIRT
is an Eclipse.org project), the 'new URL("jndi:....")' line fails with the following stack trace:

  java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: jndi
      at java.net.URL.(URL.java:544)
      at java.net.URL.(URL.java:434)
      at java.net.URL.(URL.java:383)
      at org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(...)
      ...

This is really puzzling because the URL class remembers theprotocol handlers, and I have already instantiated a URL for
"jndi" successfully.

I have tried to reproduce the problem on Tomcat 5.5.20 and 5.0.28, without success.  So it seems to be a JBoss specific
problem.  I'm using JBoss 4.0.4 GA on Linux; JVM build is 1.4.2_11-b06.  The version of BIRT I use is 2.1.1.
