The first thing I did was to run the sample code PostXML.java. But it gave
me a run time exception 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: host
parameter is null
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.<init>(HttpConnection.java:217)
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.<init>(HttpConnection.java:145)
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.SimpleHttpConnectionManager.getConnection(Simp
leHttpConnectionManager.java:118)
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:541)
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:474)
        at PostXML.main(PostXML.java:268)

 Once the host configuration is done I could see the host & port to which it
is configured. But I am puzzled by the above exception when exceuteMethod is
invoked.
  
 Are there any leads to the solution for the above problem.
