File protocol URL might not work with 3rd party libraries
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBVFS-143
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBVFS-143
             Project: JBoss VFS
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.CR3
            Reporter: Thomas Diesler
            Assignee: John Bailey
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.0.0.CR4


A URL like this

file:/home/tdiesler/svn/jboss-osgi/trunk/testsuite/example/target/test-libs/example-http.jar/res/message.txt

gets passed to a 3rd party library (i.e. Jetty)

which does stuff like this

    public static Resource newResource(URL url, boolean useCaches)
    {
        if (url==null)
            return null;

        String url_string=url.toExternalForm();
        if( url_string.startsWith( "file:"))
        {
            try
            {
                FileResource fileResource= new FileResource(url);
                return fileResource;
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                Log.debug(Log.EXCEPTION,e);
                return new BadResource(url,e.toString());
            }
        }
        else if( url_string.startsWith( "jar:file:"))
        {
            return new JarFileResource(url, useCaches);
        }
        else if( url_string.startsWith( "jar:"))
        {
            return new JarResource(url, useCaches);
        }

        return new URLResource(url,null,useCaches);
    }

As a consequence, content access does not work. 

This seems to be a general issue caused by the reuse of the well known file:// protocol which may be processed explicitly by 3rd party libs.
