error after connecting to external appl running at a different port

[anand shek]

Hi All,

From a java web application, installed on Tomcat 4.018, we are accessing another application which runs on another port (through their API). Our application is developed on MVC based pattern. Now before accessing this external application the web application is working fine, but after accessing the external application we are getting this error if we access the web application:
