URL resource objects are administrative objects used by an application to communicate with an URL. These resource objects are used to read from an URL or to write to an URL. URL resource objects use URL providers for class implementation.

To configure or create a URL provider from the console...

1. Expand...
   Resources | URL Providers | scope | New

   

   Configure the following properties:

   Name	Type an administrative name for the URL provider.
   Class path	Make a list of paths or JAR file names that together form the location for the URL provider classes.
   Stream handler class name	Define the fully qualified name of the Java class that implements the stream handler for the protocol specified by the Protocol property. A stream protocol handler knows how to make a connection for a particular protocol type, such as HTTP or FTP. It extends the java.net.URLStreamHandler class for that particular protocol.
   Protocol	Define the protocol supported by this stream handler, for example, http or ftp.

2. Click OK and save the configuration.

   Important: We need to manually install the URL provider (a set of JARs) on each node where the URL provider is going to be used and ensure that it is included in the classpath above.
