Hi, ADF Mobile uses the same URL Connection creation wizard as any other ADF application, so its behavior is not mobile specific. That said, you may want to try the following:
- append "/" to the end and see if that helps
- If using WLS security with basic HTTP Authentication, ensure the "Realm" field is populated correctly based on your WLS setup.
The error message indicates that it's able to resolve "localhost" but just can't connect to this REST service. If you are getting proxy server issue, then you will probably get "host not reacheable" error.
One thing to double check is whether you get the basic HTTP auth challenge when you use a browser to hit this link.
Lastly, you probably don't want to use localhost in the URL data control. Only iOS simulators can resolve "localhost" when the iOS simulator and the WLS server are running in the same machine. Android can't. Recommendation is to set up your WLS so it can be accessed with the machine's actual IP address, and you would create your URL data control to against that real IP. This would ensure both emulators and devices can hit the JSON service.
