Illegal Access Error [ URLConnection ]
Hi,
When I do URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(filename) I get an
IllegalAccessError thrown. Yet, I cannot catch this as the method only
throws an IOException.
Why does this throw an Exception in Tomcat? It doesn't throw it if the
method is called from the command prompt in a static class???
Is it a security exception thrown by tomcat?
Thanks,
Stuart Stephen

Ahh, didn't think of that. That's the badger.
Good work!
Thanks.

Yep. An Error isn't an Exception; it's a Throwable.

Yet Throwable is more generic as Exception. Try it.

I tried putting a try and catch block around it to catch a the generic
Exception. Yet that didn't work.
Something is still a-miss?

I dont know where this comes from since I dont have any idea what this
method is all about.
But I can tell you how to catch the Exception.
try {
..
} catch ( IllegalAccessError iae ) {
}
As of you post I guess you thought that you couldn't catch a Exception that
is not declared to be thrown by the method in question. But this is only
half the truth. You can throw everything that inherits from Throwable.
Descendents of Exception are such classes, but there are more.
You can catch about everything if you use this;
} catch ( Throwable t ) {
t.printStackTrace(); // not required but a good start.

This is my code by the way...
/**
* adds a file parameter to the request
* @param name parameter name
* @param filename the name of the file
* @param is input stream to read the contents of the file from
* @throws IOException
*/
public void setParameter(String name, String filename, InputStream is)
throws IOException {
boundary();
writeName(name);
write("; filename=\"");
write(filename);
write('"');
newline();
write("Content-Type: ");
String type = null;
type = connection.guessContentTypeFromName(filename);
if (type == null) type = "application/octet-stream";
writeln(type);
newline();
pipe(is, os);
newline();
}

Hi,
When I do URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(filename) I get an
IllegalAccessError thrown. Yet, I cannot catch this as the method only
throws an IOException.
Why does this throw an Exception in Tomcat? It doesn't throw it if the
method is called from the command prompt in a static class???
Is it a security exception thrown by tomcat?
Thanks,
Stuart Stephen
