Error message in an odd location

Question

I have this code snippet:
URL urlShoppingCartPage = new URL("http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/...");
URLConnection URLConn_ShoppingCartPage = new urlShoppingCartPage.openConnection(); // line 138
// more code...
InputStream is_ShoppingCartPage = new URLConn_ShoppingCartPage.getInputStream(); // line 167
I get this error message:
C:\>javac FormPOST_Henrys.java
FormPOST_Henrys.java:138: package urlShoppingCartPage does not exist
URLConnection URLConn_ShoppingCartPage = new urlShoppingCartPage.openCon
nection();
^
FormPOST_Henrys.java:167: package URLConn_ShoppingCartPage does not exist
InputStream is_ShoppingCartPage = new URLConn_ShoppingCartPage.getInputS
tream();
^
2 errors
C:\>
the program successfully compiles using URLConnection object and InputStream object further towards the top of the code file. Why does it not compile now?

Answer 1

The object is already created (new URL(...)) where it was declared, so remove the two other references to 'new'.
If you have trouble implementing that advice, try posting an SSCCE. It should take no more than a dozen lines of code to reproduce the errors.
Also, please use the code tags when posting code or code snippets. To do that, select the code and click the CODE button on the message input form.
