SVNkit cannot create SVNRepoitory

Question

I am trying to run a diff on two svn urls using SVNkit. The problem is that I get the error when diff.doDiff is called.

org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: Unable to create SVNRepository object for 'http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby/src/org/jruby/Finalizable.java' at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.SVNErrorManager.error(SVNErrorManager.java:55) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.SVNErrorManager.error(SVNErrorManager.java:40) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.io.SVNRepositoryFactory.create(SVNRepositoryFactory.java:199) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.DefaultSVNRepositoryPool.createRepository(DefaultSVNRepositoryPool.java:213) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.SVNClientManager.createRepository(SVNClientManager.java:242) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.SVNBasicClient.createRepository(SVNBasicClient.java:231) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.SVNDiffClient.doDiffURLURL(SVNDiffClient.java:769) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.SVNDiffClient.doDiff(SVNDiffClient.java:310) at SVNTest.main(SVNTest.java:30)

I have double checked the URLs (I can open them in TortoiseSVN client). Can anybody help me know what is going on? I have posted the code I am running below.

SVNClientManager manager = SVNClientManager.newInstance(SVNWCUtil.createDefaultOptions(false), user, pass);

SVNDiffClient diff = manager.getDiffClient();
 //ISVNDiffStatusHandler diffStatus = new ISVNDiffStatusHandler();

try {
SVNURL oldURL = SVNURL.parseURIDecoded(url);    
diff.doDiff(SVNURL.parseURIDecoded(url), SVNRevision.create(oldVersion), SVNURL.parseURIDecoded(url), SVNRevision.HEAD, false, false, System.out);
} catch (SVNException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Answer 1

have you called the following static method?

DAVRepositoryFactory.setup();

This needs to be called before accessing any http:// repositories and the similar

SVNRepositoryFactoryImpl.setup();

should be used for svn:// repositories.
