FileNotFoundException when using the Help.addBook method

Question

Hi,
I tried to use the following code:
HelpSet helpSet = new HelpSet(myUrl);
Help help = new Help();
help.addBook(helpSet);
However, when trying to launch my application, a "FileNotFoundException: c:\Documents%20and%20Settings\...\myToc.xml" is thrown !
This problem occurs when using the JDK 1.4 (it does not seem to depend on the version of Oracle Help for Java: I tried to use successively 4.1.16, 4.1.17 and 4.2 versions !).
When developping my own application, I encountered a similar problem and found that it was related to a change in the java API. More precisely, prior to JDK 1.4 beta, getClass().getResource("myFile").getFile() would return "/c:/Documents and Settings/myFile" which could be used to read "myFile". But in JDK 1.4 beta, it returns a location that has spaces translated into %20 characters ("/c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/myFile") which cannot be used as a valid file name in java.io.File or java.io.FileInputStream classes.
Could you help me ?

Hi,
"myUrl" is the url of my "helpset.hs" file.
This file is written as follow:
<helpset>
<title>Validation</title>
<maps>
<homeID>top</homeID>
<mapref location="validation_map.xml"/>
</maps>
<view>
<title>Table of Contents</title>
<label>Table of Contents</label>
<type>oracle.help.navigator.tocNavigator.TOCNavigator</type>
<data engine="oracle.help.engine.XMLTOCEngine">validation_toc.xml</data>
</view>
<view>
<title>Index</title>
<label>Index</label>
<type>oracle.help.navigator.keywordNavigator.KeywordNavigator</type>
<data engine="oracle.help.engine.XMLIndexEngine">validation_index.xml</data>
</view>
<view>
<title>Search</title>
<label>Search</label>
<type>oracle.help.navigator.searchNavigator.SearchNavigator</type>
<data engine="oracle.help.engine.SearchEngine">validation_search.idx</data>
</view>
</helpset>
Thank you,
Carine.
