Replace new URL(Path) with new File(Path).toURL() and it will work.

Also, don't forget to escape the \ in the file path:

"C:\\AAA\\bin"

You first have to tranform your String path into an URL. The simplest way is to create a File from your String path, then call its toURI method.

in other words :

addURL(sysLoader, new File(Path).toURI().toURL());

you have to use something like this 

Path="file://C://AAA/bin".

Here 'file' refers to the protocol.
