how can I get the status of webservice

[mou haj]

I am writing a utility for our project where I provide a page where the status of all the resources used in the application and the webseri
vices the application access are provided.

For Datasources I am running a dummy querry to test the status.

For webserivices I am trying to conenct to the webservce URL and if I get a response code of 200 I am saying status is OK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
final URL url = new java.net.URL( endPointURL );
final URLConnection uconn = url.openConnection( );
final java.net.HttpURLConnection conn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)uconn;
conn.connect( );
responseCode = conn.getResponseCode( );
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you suggest of any other test that I can do. These are external webserivices that my application calls.

Regards
Mou

Hi there, this is a Web service!

Is there any way of getting this test back in my java program?

Sure - look into use of java.net.HttpURLConnection.
