Hello *private* *static* *boolean* isPathUrl(String url) { *// filter out "http:", "https:", "mailto:", "file:", "ftp:" * *// since the only valid places for : in URL's is before the path specification * *// either before the port, or after the protocol * *return* (url.indexOf(*':'*) == -1); }
I'm currently using jcr (jackrabbit) as backend, and the path *parameter* of the nodes can be ns:name so my urls are http://.../resourcesManager.action?path=/jcr:system/other/stuff The redirect removes the context path, maybe a workaround solution use de URL class When you construct a URL object, Java looks for a protocol handler that understands the protocol part of the URL such as "http" or "mailto". If no such handler is found, the constructor throws a MalformedURLException.
