java.net.MalformedURLException

The following line is the cause of the problem:

result

.append( "<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC '-
//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//

DTD Web Application
2.3//EN

' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd'>"
);

If i comment it out all tests run fine.

result

.append(

"<!DOCTYPE web-app>"

);

Also works. All other combinations I tried give strange errors e.g.

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by
the document type declaration must be well-formed.

It looks like the URL implementation throws java.net.MalformedURLException

when a Nullpointer exception happens inside its code when it can't find a
handler. This just makes things very hard to debug when a null URL is
passed to it.

I don't know what the exact chain of actions is but I assume the whole
problem has to do with the Xerces used by Eclipse itself and the one used
by the application to be tested/debugged. As of Eclipse 3.x this should not
be a problem any more according to some web articles.
