    if(urlValidator.isValid(url)) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException( url + "not valid");
    }

.I'm getting IllegalArgumentException n if i'm passing url i.e

 [2]: https://www.google.co.in/

Answer 1

if you take a look at the documentation you'll have a hint on how to accept local urls

For example

public class Validator {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator(UrlValidator.ALLOW_LOCAL_URLS);
        if (urlValidator.isValid("http://localhost/page.htm")) {
            System.out.println("Valid URL");
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("Invalid URL");
        }

    }

}

it will output

Valid URL
