java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: rsrc

Question

I get this;

java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: rsrc

I'm not entirely sure what to do about this unknown protocol. I am using simple RMI to communicate between two JVMs. Is it a jar that I am missing that contains this protocol and, if so, which one? I haven't found Google searches to be all that great for this issue.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT2: To clarify, my RMI code works when running from Eclipse. It's when I export and use runnable jar files and such that it breaks.

EDIT: Here's a code snippet:

registry=LocateRegistry.getRegistry(
                rmiServerAddress,
            (new Integer(rmiServerPort)).intValue());

Solution

I finally figured it out. When using Eclipse and exporting a runnable jar file, make sure to choose under Library Handling:

Extract required libraries into generated JAR

That will fix this particular issue and probably many others.

I believe eclipse used a customized classloader implementation which reads bundled jars and add them to class path. Try not to use "bundled jars" option to see if it helps. i.e. Copy libraries into sub folder option.
