Internet with 6288

[CarlosDC]

Hi:
I'm new in J2ME programming and i've found a problem.
I have a MIDlet that connects to a Servlet and sends and receives some Strings.
My app works fine in a 6500 and all the 5th generation family, but I have a 6288 (3th?) and I can't make it work.
The right moment I press "OK" for the "using connectivity" alert, it gives a NullPointerException.
Hope somebody can help me.
Here's the code of the connection:

public HttpConnection daConexion() {
HttpConnection c = null;
System.out.println("Declarada HttpConnection en CreadorConexion.");
try {
c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url, Connector.READ_WRITE);
informacion = "Conexion creada";
System.out.println("Obtenida conexión para el HC.");
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
c.setRequestProperty("IF-Modified-Since", "20 Jan 2001 16:19:14 GMT");
c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1");
c.setRequestProperty("accept-language", "en-CA");
} catch (Exception conexionFailure) {
System.out.println("Excepción al establecer la conexión para recibir: " + conexionFailure.getMessage());
informacion = conexionFailure.getMessage();
}
return c;
}

Hello

1. What if you just use

c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);

2. Not clear to me why you get a NullPointerException,

I would suggest to change

Exception conexionFailure

by the corresponding exception and see if you are actually getting a IOException, then it could be a network configuration problem, you may also print the stacktrace, getMessage() is not allways enough

3. If you are able to get connected, check out the response code to see if it is 200

int rc = c.getResponseCode();
if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                 throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
             }

3. Are you creating the connection in a separate thread?


4. Do you actually need all those properties set and POST method? if not, why not making it simple

try {
             c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
             rc = c.getResponseCode();
             if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                 throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
             }

             is = c.openInputStream();

Let us know how it goes

Hello.
Thank you for your help! ¿¿Va bien por Méjico?? Soy de España
Anyway, I'll go on using english so everyone can read this and learn.

1. What if you just use

c = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);

I tried but didn't work.

2. Not clear to me why you get a NullPointerException,

I would suggest to change

Exception conexionFailure

by the corresponding exception and see if you are actually getting a IOException, then it could be a network configuration problem, you may also print the stacktrace, getMessage() is not allways enough

The point is that I can't get any trace on the device. I've set a String to get all info and display it in a Form that comes visible everytime an exception is catch. But it just pops up this NullPointerException using the mobile api, not my trace.
I used the Nokia S40 3th Gen emulator and it worked well. ARGH!

3. If you are able to get connected, check out the response code to see if it is 200

int rc = c.getResponseCode();
if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                 throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
             }

As said just above, no way to know if I get connected, but it doesn't even show the "G" that indicates the use of GPRS connection, so I guess not.

3. Are you creating the connection in a separate thread?

Yes.

4. Do you actually need all those properties set and POST method? if not, why not making it simple

try {
             c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
             rc = c.getResponseCode();
             if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                 throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
             }

             is = c.openInputStream();

Yeah, I need them because the url has "?eleccion=movil" parts and it's not allowed to use them with GET and HEAD connections. (I got an error)
The other settings... not really, but I don't think they can get a NullPointerException, do they??

Thanks again!
