Both

and omitting the URI parameter seem to work. 

Regarding javadoc - of course one should read it, which I didn't, but I think 
it wouldn't have helped me, because in 

"If uri is NULL, then libvirt will try to find the best method. Uri may 
specify the hostname or IP address of the destination host as seen from the 
source. Or uri may be a URI giving transport, hostname, user, port, etc. in 
the usual form. Refer to driver documentation for the particular URIs 
supported."

the pointer to http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html isn't helpful as "tcp://host" 
isn't there either. 

So I think it would be helpful to add your suggestions to either javadoc or 
the drivers doc?
