MalformedURLException in OC4J

[Balaji-15]

I ran into an interesting problem with Quartz and OC4J.

In the quartz.properties file, one can specify an XML file to initialize jobs.  In this case, I a™m specifying a file called quartzJobs.xml

#============================================================================
# Configure Plugins  
#============================================================================
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.class=org.quartz.plugins.xml.JobInitializationPlugin
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.overWriteExistingJobs=false
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.failOnFileNotFound=true
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.validating=false
org.quartz.plugin.jobInitializer.fileName=quartzJobs.xml

Running the project in OC4J threw a MalformedURLException.

ERROR 21 Mar 2008 09:34:21,126 (org.quartz.plugins.xml.JobInitializationPlugin:398) :: Error scheduling jobs: no protocol: /C:\oc4j\j2ee\home\applications\QuartzTest\WEB-INF\classes/quartzJobs.xml
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: /C:\oc4j\j2ee\home\applications\QuartzTest\WEB-INF\classes/quartzJobs.xml
      at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:567)

      at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLReader.pushXMLReader(XMLReader.java:233)
      at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:202)

This was indicating to me that the quartzJobs.xml file could not be found.

What is really interesting is that the same WAR file would work just fine in Tomcat.

I found that the Quartz code uses a File getAbsolutePath() method to get the path to the file.  It then creates a URL from the path string like [b]new URL(path)[/b].  After some research on the web, I found several people who said that the file path string should be prepended with file:// when running OC4J on Windows.  So instead of

/C:/oc4j/j2ee/home/applications/QuartzTest/WEB-INF/classes/classes/quartzJobs.xml, it should be

file:///oc4j/j2ee/home/applications/QuartzTest/WEB-INF/classes/classes/quartzJobs.xml.

I ended up extending the Quartz JobInitializationPlugin class with my own, and adding the file:// part to the file path.  This solved the problem in OC4J.

Questions:  Has anybody seen this situation before?

Should I configure OC4J to specify another parser other than oracle.xml.v2.XMLParser?

Thank you,

Gary

Dear Gary,

Could you send me the class that you create to "solve" the problem?

Thanks.
Leonardo
