From SAXLocalNameCount.java from https://jaxp.java.net:

/**
 * Convert from a filename to a file URL.
 */
private static String convertToFileURL ( String filename )
{
    // On JDK 1.2 and later, simplify this to:
    // "path = file.toURL().toString()".
    String path = new File ( filename ).getAbsolutePath ();
    if ( File.separatorChar != '/' )
    {
        path = path.replace ( File.separatorChar, '/' );
    }
    if ( !path.startsWith ( "/" ) )
    {
        path = "/" + path;
    }
    String retVal =  "file:" + path;

    return retVal;
}
