According to EJBrestrictions, it is NOT allowed to make a direct URLConnection from an EJB.
However, when I follow the recommendation in: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/EJBIntro/EJBIntro.html, I have no success. It seems like URL.getConnection(), not only makes a connection object but also CONNECTS making it impossible to specify the request dynamicaly using URLConnection.setRequestProperty(). According to javadoc for URLConnection it should be possible: "..... . In general, creating a connection to a URL is a multistep process: The connection object is created by invoking the openConnection method on a URL. The setup parameters and general request properties are manipulated. The actual connection to the remote object is made, using the connect method. The remote object becomes available. The header fields and the contents of the remote object can be accessed. The setup parameters are modified using the following methods: setAllowUserInteraction setDoInput setDoOutput setIfModifiedSince setUseCaches and the general request properties are modified using the method: setRequestProperty ....." But when I call setRequestProperty, I get an exception, telling 'Already connected'. I guess, I have misunderstood something - but what ? regards Hardy =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
