Error in HttpURLConnection - openConnection

Question

I am having the following java function for check the website responce code:

URL u = null;   

try {
    u = new URL("http://bforball.com");
    HttpURLConnection huc =  ( HttpURLConnection ) u.openConnection (); 
    huc.setRequestMethod ("GET"); 
    huc.connect () ; 
}

I have imported the below:

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

But when I compile my code I am getting warning message near

u.openConnection

Warning message:

Connot find the symbol
Symbol: mehod openConnection()
Location:variable u of type URL

What I am doing wrong?

Do you have any other class named `URL` in the same package as this class ? Seems you are using the intended class `java.net.URL` — Santosh, May 15 '13 at 12:53

I guess you have wrong import on URL class. You have to import URL with correct package :

import java.net.URL;

It has method openConnection()

I have tested your code provided and it has no compile error. Try to do something like this : `java.net.URL u = new URL("http://google.com")` – Wayan Wiprayoga May 15 '13 at 13:03
import java.net.URL; This import package works for me .ThakYou – ashu May 15 '13 at 13:07

Check your import for the URL class. It should be

import java.net.URL;

Maybe URL class which you used doesn't have an openConnection() method?

It does. At least the java.net.URL one. – Ravi K Thapliyal May 15 '13 at 12:55
