Oops... for the sake of clarity, I meant to say the reverse - the 'HttpClient'
class and the 'GetMethod' parameter of excecuteMethod() are both imported.
This is where the exception occurs:
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
and this is the exception message:
HttpClientTutorial.java:26: cannot resolve symbol symbol : method
executeMethod (org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod)
location: class com.justatest.test.HttpClientTutorial
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
I thought it was the usual jar not in the classpath problem - could there be any
other reason other than missing import statements (that seem to be present in
the sample code)?
Many thanks
/j-p.
