Hello,
This is the first time I need to use EntityUtils.toString(). My code is: try { ( . . . ) response = cluster.getHttpClient().performRequest(request); String body = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity(), GenericConstants.ENCODING_UTF8); ( . . . ) } catch (Exception e) { ( . . . ) } Is this the right way to use it? My questions: 1. Do I need to check previously that response.getEntity is null before calling EntityUtils.toString()? 2. Do I need to close the connection in any way, or EntityUtils.toString() is responsible to get the connection back to the pool (even in case of exception)? Thanks, Joan.
