Description

This doesn't happen with 2.0.1 or 2.2.1.
When I try to set the property

"http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation"

the parser aborts with the msgs below, right after I call .parse(uri) on it.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:

If I don't try to set the property, everything parses all right (except that I
have to be connected to the Net for the parser to retrieve the schema doc). And
if I set this property for 2.2.1, the schema document is located properly.

Not sure what may matter here, so let me add that I create the parser as:

parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();

and the uri is prepared from the cmdline argument as

uri = new File(args[i]).toURL().toString();

This looks somewhat related to bug #15878 to my rather ignorant eyes.
