after upgrading to Java 6, I just found out that toURL() method is deprecated in Java 6.
after doing some googling, I reached to this page: http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1280051
The author (in the link above) said:
The toURL() method of File does not properly escape characters that aren’t valid in a URL. You can write better code today without waiting for Java 6 by calling the toURL() method after calling toURI() on a File object.
and provided these code samples for us:
URL url1 = file.toURL(); // bad
URL url2 = file.toURI().toURL(); //good
hmmm … okay, I got it.
