Protocol Handlers Cannot Be Installed

Problem

You receive an error saying that "Protocol handlers could not be installed".

Cause

This is a possible error when using the WAR distribution of Oxygen XML Web Author because the WAR must be put in Tomcat and run with Java 17.

Solution

Add the following arguments to the JVM that runs Web Author:
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED
