There's another approach for Java SE clients of web services (one of my favorites):

Sockets.

Code: Select all

    Socket socket = new Socket(); 
    socket.connect( new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getByName(host),port), timeout );

    BufferedWriter reqWrtr = new BufferedWriter( 
                                                   new OutputStreamWriter( socket.getOutputStream(),"UTF-8" )); 
    ... 

    BufferedReader respRdr = new BufferedReader( 
                                                    new InputStreamReader( socket.getInputStream() ) ); 
    ...

That is a nice one!

... but you won't find that one on the exam.

Isn't necessary to do the following :

Code: Select all

connection.setDoInput(true);

[fjwalraven]

Isn't necessary to do the following :

Yes, you are right that isn't necessary as the input flag is true by default.

URLConnection connection = (URLConnection) restURL.openConnection();

Is cast necessary here?

[fjwalraven]

No, you are right that is not necessary.

Hello, in the second answer:

Code: Select all

public static void main(String[]args)throwsIOException
        {  
    
            URLrestURL = newURL("http://localhost:8080/SimpleRS/jax/rs/add/5/8");      
            HttpURLConnectionconnection = (HttpURLConnection) restURL.openConnection();      
            connection.setRequestMethod("GET");      
            connection.setReadTimeout(10000);      
            connection.connect();          
            InputStreamReaderins = newInputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream());      
            BufferedReaderin = newBufferedReader(ins);      StringinputLine;      
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {         
                System.out.println(inputLine);      
            }      
            in.close();   
        }

is it not required to add a connection.setDoOutput(true)?

[fjwalraven]

is it not required to add a connection.setDoOutput(true)?

No, with a GET you will only read from the connection (DoOutput is for a POST)

Yes, my mistake.
