Thanks for your response - it confirmed that I was on the right lines. The problem that I was encountering actually arose as I was calling this method from within my applets constructor. As soon as I moved it to the init method it worked!<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to load information in to an Applet in much the same as a Windows program uses an Ini file. If I use the form<br />
URL d = new URL(&quot;<a href="http://p1/scales/intervals" rel="ugc">http://p1/scales/intervals</a>&quot;);, then it works fine.<br />
<br />
I want to make the applet work in any directory structure, so I don't need to hardcode the URL. I thought that the following would work<br />
URL d = new URL(getCodeBase(),&quot;interva<wbr />ls.txt&quot;);<br />
<br />
Everytime I do this, I get a MalFormedURL exception.<br />
<br />
Can you point me in the right direction with this please?

URL Problem

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
