Good morning! When I deliberately use a non-existing hostname in order to force the lookup to fail, the exception is thrown in a method indirectly called by HttpURLConnection.connect(). This means that the lookup is not done in the URL class, which in turn means that moving the URL instantiation into the loop won't help anything.
java.net.UnknownHostException: swww.hannesschmidt.de at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:153) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:426) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:376) at sun.net.NetworkClient.doConnect(NetworkClient.java:139) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:386) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:602) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.<init>(HttpClient.java:303) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.<init>(HttpClient.java:264) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:336) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:317) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:312) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(HttpURLConnection.j ava:481) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(HttpURLConnection.java:4 72) at UrlWatchdog.main(UrlWatchdog.java:31) Where do you get your excepetion? My guts is telling me that the lookup result is cached by the operating system rather than a Java class. On the other hand, caching a negative result should never be done by anything. So the behaviour you illustrated is really strange. What platform does your webapp run on? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Day" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 9:27 AM Subject: RE: crontab problems > Do you know which class cache the negative response............ > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralph Einfeldt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 2:07 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: crontab problems > > > Because the underlying classes sometimes cache a negative > response, so you have to restart tomcat to enable a new > lookup.
