I think it is the problem with ‘firewall setting’. What can i do to get rid of this.
Any help will be greatly appriciated

Answer 1

i found the solution to the above problem, one has to set proxy setting like below in you r java code

System.getProperties().put(“http.proxyHost”, “proxyname”);
System.getProperties().put(“http.proxyPort”, “portnumber”);

then things should be fine
