When I connect to my servlet using either HttpURLConnection (J2SE) or
HttpConnection (J2ME), there are times when I want to send back to the
client something other than HttpServletResponse.SC_OK. In J2ME, it
seems to handle non-SC_OK responses okay, but in J2SE it consistently
throws an IOException when the response comes back. Is there a way, in
J2SE, to receive a non-SC_OK response without having an exception
thrown? My servlet code is as follows:
// servlet code
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
// if an error condition occurs, a class throws a
ProxyCommandException
catch(ProxyCommandException error)
{
response.sendError(error.getStatusCode(),error.getMessage());
}
}
// J2SE client code
public void sendCommand(ProxyCommand command)
throws IOException
{
// HttpURLConnection is established
/* the command's been sent, getting the response code
this line, whenever it's not SC_OK, *always* throws
an exception */
int rc = connection.getResponseCode();
// code to handle the value of rc
}
What can I do to fix this?
