There should be a footnote after code sample's last line that reads:

Older versions of Apache Xerces allowed the use of normal Windows paths,
but more recent versions replaced the java.net.URL class with a custom
URL resolver, and requires filenames to be passed in as complete URIs,
as shown in this example, with protocol (file://) and complete location
(/d:/prod/JavaXML/contents/contents.xml)
