(HttpURLConnection) typecasting not allowed XSP error

[Jeff Conrad]

Hello, I am new to XSP in Cocoon.  I am experimenting
with a way to POST to a servlet, but not using the
name-value pair combination shown in the CInclude
(advanced) example.

To me XSP seems to not like the typecasting -
parenthesis syntax required by Java.  It sees the
parenthesis, and gives an error.  JSP handles similar
code with no problem.  Is this a bug?  I get an
Internal Service Error,

URL url = new URL(specURL);
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection(); 

// start error (lines 83-83) "Syntax error on token
"(", "Identifier" expected"

Here is the full xsp listing:

httpConn.setRequestProperty("content-length",String.valueOf(specStr.length()));

    
    OutputStreamWriter connWriter = new
OutputStreamWriter( httpConn.getOutputStream() );
    connWriter.write(specStr);
    connWriter.flush();
        connWriter.close();
    
    httpConn.connect();
    
        int responseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
        String responseMsg = httpConn.getResponseMessage();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(httpConn.getInputStream()));
        String oneline;
        while ( (oneline = br.readLine()) != null) {
                 results.append(oneline);
        }
