Description

[Looking at 1.0-M3 source code]

The Geronimo types:
org.apache.geronimo.system.url.file.Handler
and
org.apache.geronimo.system.url.file.FileURLConnection

both import and use the Sun non-API type "sun.net.www.ParseUtil". It appears that the usage is quite trivial, and can easily be replaced by API calls on URLDecoder. This will remove a JRE-implementation dependency.

The only caveat is that simple tests show that URLDecoder decodes 'more' than the ParseUtil, so while both methods will convert "a%20b" to "a b"; the URLDecoder will convert "a+b" to "a b" whereas ParseUtil leaves it as "a+b". Is this difference in decoding behavior expected by Geronimo?
