HTTP Connection timeout issue

[alexandra12]

I am wondering if anyone knows how I can prevent this error from happening. I am trying to schedule the program to run once an hour, sometimes it works, other times it does not.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
			Socket clientSocket = null;
			URL a = null;

			
			
			try {
				a = new URL("http://ip/");
			} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
				
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		    
		    
			try{
		//reading in the data from the url directly into the console to see all results returned
		new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader((a.openStream())));
		//creating a new socket connection.
		 	clientSocket = new Socket("ip", 80);
		}catch(UnknownHostException error){
			error.printStackTrace();
			System.exit(1);
		}catch(Throwable e){
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.exit(1);
		}
			        
		            SAXParserFactory sax = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
		            try{
		
		            SAXParser saxParser = sax.newSAXParser();
		            


		            XMLReader XMLReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();
             
		            XMLReader.setContentHandler(new NorthCommander());
		            XMLReader.parse(new InputSource(a.openStream()));
		            
		     
		         
		            }catch(Throwable e){
		            	e.printStackTrace();
		            	System.exit(1);
		            }
		           
		        
		            clientSocket.close();    
		        
		             
		}

Thanks in advance

Hi! Please use [code][/code] when post code so we can read it easily!

That said, I don't see any loops, timers, etc... that would allow this program to run once an hour. You need to either add a long sleep statement, or use a java Timer to schedule the interval.

hi quad64bit ,

I could not find the code option last night when submitting the thread. I was half asleep anyway. In reply to your comment - I am not using any java timers. I have created a runnable jar file. I then created a batch file that kicks off the above class in the jar file once an hour.

Are you able to offer any more advice ?
