How to use HttpsURLConnection ???

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing problems while using <b>HttpsURLConnection</b>.

I have added library <b>com.sun.net.ssl</b> in my project and imported <b>com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.</b>

Then I made an object of HttpsURLConnection.... say con.

Then I have used the following code in the component controller..

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL (<b>URLName</b>). openConnection() ;

///// <b>URLName</b> is any https url of type string////

con.setRequestMethod("HEAD") ;

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("con.getResponseCode= "+ con.getResponseCode()) ;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

upon executing the code I am getting an error

<b>" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection "</b>

Please help me out in this regard...

Thanks and Regards,

HI Sayan,

Put the jar file inside Project\src\mimes\Components\Package\ and set the build path to this jar file.Then deploy and run the application

If it is not working, then u have to deploy the jar file to server using this weblog

Hi,

You need to package this jar inside a external library DC and then deploy it on the portal. You should then have a library reference from your WD project to this library. Having this jar only in the build path will not work.
