JarURLConnection

extends URLConnection

java.lang.Object
↳	java.net.URLConnection
	↳	java.net.JarURLConnection

Class Overview

This class establishes a connection to a jar: URL using the JAR protocol. A JarURLConnection instance can refer to either a JAR archive file or to an entry of such a file. jar: URLs are specified as follows: jar:{archive-url}!/{entry} where "!/" is called a separator. This separator is important to determine if an archive or an entry of an archive is referred.

Examples:

Archive: jar:http://www.example.com/applets/archive.jar!/

File Entry: jar:http://www.example.com/applets/archive.jar!/test.class

Directory Entry: jar:http://www.example.com/applets/archive.jar!/applets/
