Pluggable protocols work quite nice. I remember I created a pluggable protocol for opening application resources once; worked like a charm.

Hi, All,

I need to extend java.net.URL, in order to handle newer/more schemes.
The problem is that java.net.URL is final, not meant to be subclassed.
Since URL is extensively used in nutch, I am also reluctant to replace every one with my own MyURL. It seems I will have to hack java.net.URL source directly. This is not portable though. I am wondering if there are better alternatives, or some tricks can be applied.

Thanks,

John


Do pluggable protocol handlers do what you want? (eg:

Hi, Nick,

How could I have missed that! That's the one. Thanks a lot.
