[A] If your add-on contains a configuration file, add to it something like this: <property name="my.base" url="true">do_not_care</property> See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/property.html Then execute: URL base = new URL(System.getProperty("my.base")); URL url = new URL(base, "myDirectory/myFile.foo"); File file = new File(url.toURI()); OR [B] If your add-on contains an XML catalog, add to it something like: <rewriteURI uriStartString="my-base:" rewritePrefix="." /> Then execute: import com.xmlmind.xml.resolve.XMLCatalogs; URL url = XMLCatalogs.resolveURI("my-base:myDirectory/myFile.foo", null); File file = new File(url.toURI()); See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xml/resolve/XMLCatalogs.html#resolveURI(java.lang.String,%20java.net.URL) OTHERWISE [C] Add an empty XML catalog to your add-on and proceed as in [B]. --- PS: In all cases, you'll be able to get the URL of "myDirectory/myFile.foo". However whether you'll be able to convert this URL to a File or not depends on how XXE is being deployed. In the case of a deployment as an applet or using Java Web Start, the URL will not be a "file:" URL. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
