Error while opening an URLConnection

[prasad.deshpande]

Hi, I'm trying to open a file using URLConnection inside a servlet & it throws me following exception. I'm using jboss-6.1.0-SNAPSHOT on windows platform.

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in opaque part at index 7: file:D:\jboss-5.1.0-SVN\eFp\eFp-Current\server.properties

Not sure if anyone has tried it before. File URL seems to be correct but still I get above exception. Could anyone please highlight? Please ignore the path of the file even if it says jboss-5.1.0 I just have a directory with that name, it has nothing to do with actual 5.1.0 version.

I'm also attaching my servlet code.

I don't think so. Try:

file://D:\jboss-5.1.0-SVN\eFp\eFp-Current\server.properties

(notice the // after the file: )
