APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
I am running a Web Services-enabled app (#1) that also acts as
a client to another Web Services (#2). #2 is using JMS as the
transport. An  exception is thrown when the URL object is
formed. This is because the  urlprotocols.jar file is not in
the WebSphere runtime classpath. We've tried adding this to
setupCmdLine, startServer, and the <WAS_HOME>\classes
directory, but the  file still is not being picked up in the
classpath.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 5.0 users who   *
*                 access URLs using any of the "non-standard"  *
*                 protocols.                                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The $WAS_HOME/lib/urlprotocols.jar      *
*                      file is not in the CLASSPATH used by    *
*                      the app server.  The urlprotocols.jar   *
*                      file contains custom protocol handlers  *
*                      for some non-standard URL types that    *
*                      are required by Web Services.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
This problem is caused by the fact that the
$WAS_HOME/lib/urlprotocols.jar file is not in the CLASSPATH used
by the application server.  This file contains custom protocol
handlers for some non-standard URL types that are required by
Web Services.  The jar file was added to the WAS_CLASSPATH
inside the setupCmdLine.bat (.sh) file some time ago, this will
cover the command-line environment.
Unfortunately, it was not known that the urlprotocols.jar file
must also be added to the server's default CLASSPATH setting.
Problem conclusion
The systemlaunch.properties file was modified so that the
urlprotocols.jar file is included in the CLASSPATH of the
application server when it is launched.
