Thanks for the pointer Alan. I'll have a look. Is there any additional documentation on this besides the javadoc? At first glance it is unclear to me what discovers the providers? Is the the URL class itself based on the thread context class loader? How do providers interact with the statically set factory. I also don't see a provider SPI type for java.net.ContentHandlerFactory. Tom
