InputStream in = uConnect.getInputStream(); error

[L.John]

Hi,
It would be kind if anybody could tell me why i am getting :java.io.FileNotFoundException:
on line
InputStream in = uConnect.getInputStream();
-----------------------------------------------
I am created a URL object and passing that URL object in a URLConnection object.
String page_to_connect = "http://cd2iis02/inbi/admin/updatestatus.cfm?domain="+sdomain_name+"&requestid="+sreq_id+"&status="+status+"&msg="+ smessage;
URL serverUrl = new URL(page_to_connect);
URLConnection uConnect = serverUrl.openConnection();
uConnect.setDoOutput(true);
uConnect.setUseCaches(false);
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(uConnect.getOutputStream());
out.close();
//Filenotfound exception is thrown at the below line**
InputStream in = uConnect.getInputStream();// error at this line
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
int chr;
while((chr=in.read())!=-1) { // this is line number 94
response.append((char)chr);
}
in.close();
String sResponse = response.toString();

Can anyone tell me why is this exception coming ,Its not finding the file . Is there any way to rectify this error.
Any replies will be appreciated
Thanks

John

See wether you r trying to invoke doGet or doPost .... i think doGet is not Possible by this try doPost once i hope ur code will work ......

Hi Pradeepta,
Thanks for replying to my query. Actually this is not a servlet but a java class, so i am not using doGet method in this.
What i wanted to do was to get the values and send it to the webpage on the server which is accepting HTTP Request only.
Luckily i came to know of another alternative i.e using sockets , I used Socket class specifying the hostaddress and port number and then used the following:
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(clientsocket.getInputStream());
OR
InputStream in = clientsocket.getInputStream();
then
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientsocket.getOutputStream(),true);
String url = "GET /the directory_path.cfm?name="+_name+"&requestid="+lreq_id+"&status="+lStatus+"&msg="+encodedMessage+HttpVersion;

This is the way for sending HTTP request , which i came to know .
and then using either a byte class printing the response out to the browser after appending it to a string.
Kindly let me know if there could be a better way to do this .
Many thanks,
Regards,
John

Hi Pradeepta,
It would be kind of you if you can help me with a better way using Bufferred Input and output Stream class for the below functionality:
clientsocket = new Socket(shost,iport);
InputStream in = clientsocket.getInputStream();
OutputStream out = clientsocket.getOutputStream();
/**
* Here i am sending a HTTP request to this URL along with 4
* variables
*/
String url = "GET /info/admin/updatestatus.cfm?name="+s_name+"&requestid="+lreq_id+"&status="+lStatus+"&msg="+encodedMessage+HttpVersion;
byte buf[] = url.getBytes();
out.write(buf);
out.flush();
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
int chr;
while((chr=in.read())!=-1) {
response.append((char)chr);// sresponse is stringbuffer
}
String sResponse = response.toString();
System.out.println(sResponse);
How can i proceed further usinga bufferredInpout and out Stream and get the same functionality working ?
Thanking you in advance ,
Regards,
John
