Question

I’m new to BlackBerry application development. I have one silly error while during HttpConnection in httpcon.getResponseCode() method giving source not found error.

Please, can any one figure out this error?

Here is my method:

        net.rim.device.api.io.transport.ConnectionFactory cf = new   net.rim.device.api.io.transport.ConnectionFactory();
        httpConn = (HttpConnection) cf.getConnection(url).getConnection();

        httpConn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
        httpConn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent",
                "Profile/MIDP-2.0 Confirguration/CLDC-1.0");
        httpConn.setRequestProperty("Accept_Language", "en-US");
        httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
                "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

        httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",
                Integer.toString(postData.length));
        os = httpConn.openOutputStream();
        os.write(("LoginID=[e-mail]&Password=yah123")
                .getBytes("UTF-8"));
        os.flush();
        os.close();
        try {
            responseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
        } catch (IOException ex1) {
            //check if it's eof, if yes retrieve code again
            if (-1 != ex1.getMessage().indexOf("EOF")) {
                try {
                    responseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
                } catch (IOException ex2) {
                    System.out.println(ex2.getMessage());
                    // handle exception
                }
            } else {
                System.out.println(ex1.getMessage());
                // handle exception
            }
        }
        int status = httpConn.getResponseCode();

        if (status == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {

            InputStream input = httpConn.openInputStream();

            byte[] bytes = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(input);

            StringBuffer raw = new StringBuffer(new String(bytes));
            raw.insert(0, "bytes received]\n");
            raw.insert(0, bytes.length);
            raw.insert(0, '[');

            url = raw.toString();

            input.close();
        } else {
            url = "response code = " + status;
        }
        httpConn.close();
    } catch (IOCancelledException e) {
        System.out.println(e.toString());
        return "";
    } catch (IOException e) {

        return "";
    }

    return "";
}

Update: I am not trying to step into getResponseCode(). Eclipse is stopping execution at that point, and showing the Source Not Found error.

I have found my mistake.When calling HttpConnection. getResponseCode() in that URL String we have to add deviceside=true then only getresponsecode() will be called without throwing any http exceptions.

For Example:
httpClient ht = new httpClient();
String str = ht.getHttpClientResponse("https://www.google.co.in;deviceside=true",post);

Note:
(From @Nate Comment)
we don’t always want deviceside=true in your connection strings. It depends on whether you’re running on a device or a simulator, and what kind of network’s available.
