I don't know what you're trying to do exactly but allow me to make a few
suggestions.

1) You only need to register the SMB URL handler if you're using smb://
URLs with the java.net.URL class. If you're not, I strongly recommend
*not* installing it because it can screw up URL functionality (e.g. HTTP
POST through java.net.URL will not work).
2) Use an NtlmPasswordAuthentication object to manage credentials. You
should never put creds into a URL. That's only for quick and dirty type
stuff and those special characters ';' '@' and ':' can cause problems.
3) Run your code without a container first to make sure it works as expected.
