As stated in the 6696028, we should now get MalformedURLException as of JDK 6 u12 b01.
Problem is that for, some reason, we get a NullPointerException:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

This is weird. I've tried to reproduce the issue on JDK6u23, JDK7u40 and JKD8-ea but strangely enough the service URL of the form "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop:*" seems to be considered correct by the IIOP stack. Such an URL is not refused and a correct connector is returned. Obviously, there is no NPE - thus closing this issue.

Shanliang, this bug is not prioritized for 8. Will you continue to be assigned to this bug or shoudl we move it back to unassigned?

EVALUATION This is because of the iiop implementation change, see the bug 6771107

Relates :	JDK-6696028 - JMXServiceURL like service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop:// should be rejected by the RMI conn provider.
Relates :	JDK-6771107 - IIOP: Exception thrown is changed in 6u12
Relates :	JDK-6769658 - javax/management/remote/mandatory/connection/IllegalIIOPURLTest isn't reliable
