Problem with JNLP showDocument and AOL

[G. Ralph Kuntz, MD]

Our application runs under Java Web Start. Some of our customers use
AOL and when our app does a BasicService.showDocument(...) they get
the following error:

Cannot find '\file:COCUME~1ADMINI~1LOCALS~1Temptest61766.html'. Make
sure the path or Internet address is correct.

It looks like someone (?IE) is removing the backslashes.

Has anyone seen this or has a fix?

URLs don't have backslashes. Perhaps that's the cause of your
difficulty. Try putting the correct forward slashes in your URL and
your problem may be solved.

I didn't put the backslashes in --- Java did through the
File.createTempFile() method and returns this as the getURL() method.
