Host parameter null.

Question

Hi,
We are trying to fire a SOAP request and print the response but its throwing this error �host parameter null�.
hc.executeMethod(post) is failing. the strXMLRequest seems to be correct
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: host parameter is null
The piece of code iim using is:
String strURL = "http://athenec:47112/oms/XMLAPI/login";
URI u = new URI(strURL);
PostMethod post = new PostMethod();
String strXMLRequest = new String(baos.toByteArray());
post.setRequestBody(strXMLRequest);
post.setURI(u);
post.setPath("/");
post.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml");
System.out.println("post url is " post.getURI() " post is " +post.getQueryString());     
HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();
System.out.println("Came here");
int iResultCode = hc.executeMethod(post);
System.out.println("passed here");
The logs are as follows
post url is http://athenec:47112/ post is null_
Came here
passed here
iResultCode = 404
Can anybody help me out ??

Answer 1

your PostMethod takes the Url as the parameter. Check you are using the proper URl i.e like http://host:port/name?params like that
