Hi all,
I've been using Abdera to get some RSS Feeds and converting them to JSON
format. I can do all this locally in a JSP using Eclipse+Tomcat but my problem
is when I move this JSP to a remote server, it doesn't work and returns an
exception:
"java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid
address."
I pass the RSS URL as a parameter in the URL of my JSP page and what I
understand of the exception is that client.get( urlParameter ) cannot reach the
host of the RSS URL, which make me ask if there is anything in the
AbderaClient.get() method that modifies or replaces some characters in the URL
or if it encodes the URL before making the request? Maybe based on Character
Set of the server?
I say that this same JSP works locally but not in a remote server so would you
say it's a server (on which I'm testing) related problem only and nothing
specific about AbderaClient.get() method?
This is my code:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
String urlParameter = request.getParameter("url").toString();
Abdera abderaObj = new Abdera();
AbderaClient client = new AbderaClient(abderaObj);
ClientResponse resp = client.get( urlParameter );
if (resp.getType() == ResponseType.SUCCESS) {
Document<Feed> doc = resp.getDocument();
Writer json = abderaObj.getWriterFactory().getWriter("json");
doc.writeTo(json, out);
} else {
out.print( "<h1>There was an error parsing the RSS feed:</h1><h3> " +
resp.getStatusText() + "</h3>" );
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks.
