RE: URL connections

[Stunger, Kevin J]

This may have something to do with your app server (servlet container).
I've run into issues with EAServer and SSL since it uses internal,
proprietary classes to connect via https.  Look into installing JSSE and
using the Apache commons HttpClient.  This worked for me.

Subject: URL connections


I am having a strange problem. When I try and connect to a URL within
the struts framework (within an action class) I get errors.
 
Below is the code, this code works fine in a standalone java class
(main)  but in an action class I get an error when I try and 
Cast the connection,  any help is appreciated.
 
I do not get any exceptions thrown in the try blocks, and I get the
output con is NOT null
 
Thanks

        URL url = null;
 
        try{
        url = new URL(myUrl);
        }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.getMessage());}
 
        System.out.println("report url is:  " + url.toString());
        URLConnection con = null;
 
        try{
            con = url.openConnection();
        }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.getMessage());}
 
        if(con==null)
            System.out.println("con is null");
        else
            System.out.println("con is NOT null");
   
 
        HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection)con;
