Yes, I thought about it too. There are two cases: - the thread creating URL can't find custom handlers; - Sun's handler was somehow initialized/used before (before setting the property or somehow else?)
But I can't understand why my standalone test doesn't work. I set property in the command line and my handlers are in the classpath. I don't see any chance for Sun's handler to be used first. Ok, I'll update JBoss-3.0 and see. Thanks, alex Tuesday, January 14, 2003, 9:49:45 PM, you wrote: SMS> Oh, I now remeber looking at this but I can't remember the context.
