AbstractJarURLConnection (NetPhantom® 8.0 Java API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- java.net.URLConnection
- - com.netphantom.common.AbstractJarURLConnection

Direct Known Subclasses:
MemoryJarURLConnection, NpJarURLConnection
```
public abstract class AbstractJarURLConnection
extends URLConnection
```
A URL Connection to a Java ARchive (JAR) file or an entry in a JAR file.
The syntax of a JAR URL is:
```
 jar:<url>!/{entry}
 
```
for example:
jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/Quux.class
Jar URLs should be used to refer to a JAR file or entries in a JAR file. The example above is a JAR URL which refers to a JAR entry. If the entry name is omitted, the URL refers to the whole JAR file: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/
Users should cast the generic URLConnection to a JarURLConnection when they know that the URL they created is a JAR URL, and they need JAR-specific functionality. For example:
```
 URL url = new URL("jar:file:/home/duke/duke.jar!/");
 JarURLConnection jarConnection = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection();
 Manifest manifest = jarConnection.getManifest();
 
```
JarURLConnection instances can only be used to read from JAR files. It is not possible to get a OutputStream to modify or write to the underlying JAR file using this class.
Examples:
A Jar entry
jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/Quux.class
A Jar file
jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/
A Jar directory
jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/
!/ is referred to as the separator.
When constructing a JAR url via new URL(context, spec), the following rules apply:
- if there is no context URL and the specification passed to the URL constructor doesn't contain a separator, the URL is considered to refer to a JarFile.
- if there is a context URL, the context URL is assumed to refer to a JAR file or a Jar directory.
- if the specification begins with a '/', the Jar directory is ignored, and the spec is considered to be at the root of the Jar file.
  Examples:
  context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/, spec:baz/entry.txt
  url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt
  context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:entry.txt
  url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt
  context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:/entry.txt
  url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/entry.txt
