Informix Error -9486: Invalid URL.

Reasons / Common Causes

-9486 fires when the URL given for a jar's source is syntactically invalid — per the official guidance.

1. A malformed URL passed to install_jar() or a related procedure, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Check the syntax of the URL for the jar, per the official guidance.

Examples

An invalid jar source URL

EXECUTE PROCEDURE install_jar('path/to/myjar.jar', 'MyJar', 0);
-- -9486: missing the file: scheme prefix

Corrected

EXECUTE PROCEDURE install_jar('file:/path/to/myjar.jar', 'MyJar', 0);

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the jar source URL's syntax, including the scheme prefix, and correct it.
