How to get URL string in java code, from a CUSTOM PROTOCOL URL in MAC OS X application

Question

I am developing an application in java for mac osx. I need to implement a custom protocol for it. Its same as some inbuilt application in osx, like when we hit mailto:// in Safari browser it open default mail application. My requirement is same as it. I have written following code in info.plist of application bundle and its working fine.

 <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
      <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>SBR</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
          <string>sbr</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
    </array>

I can open my application using Safari browser by hitting sbr://.

Problem- I want to pass some argument with this protocol like sbr://user:[email protected] and then take these arguments user:[email protected] as String in java code to perform some operation.

Any help or suggestion is appreciated. thanks.
