RE: [RDDL] RDDLClassLoader

[Jonathan Borden <jborden@mediaone.net>]

What I'm doing so far is this:

The java URLClassLoader constructor accepts URL[] as a parameter.

class RDDLClassLoader extends URLClassLoader {
	RDDLClassLoader(namespaceURI,purposeURI) {

super(RDDLClassLoader.buildURLarrayFromNSandPurpose(namespaceURI,purposeURI)
);
	};

where the static method buildURLArray... parses the RDDL document at the
namespace URI and builds a URL[] of all the <rddl:resource xlink:href="URIs"
..> where the purpose matches the purposeURI and the nature is
http://www.rddl.org/natures/software#java

So from my reading of JarURLConnection, assuming that the xlink:href URI is
of the form:

"jar:http://...", the URLClassLoader ought do the right thing?

Otherwise the form "http://example.org/foo" would indicate a URL to be used
as a classpath. Is this assumption correct?
