Open URL in Java to get the content
I´m searching for a opportunity to open a url in java. URL url = new URL("http://maps.google.at/maps?saddr=4714&daddr=Marchtrenk&hl=de"); InputStream is = url.openConnection().getInputStream(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( is ) ); String line = null; while( ( line = reader.readLine() ) != null ) { System.out.println(line); } reader.close(); I found that way. I added it in my program and the following error occurred. The method openConnection() is undefined for the type URL (by url.openConnection()) What is my problem? I use a tomcat-server with servlets, .
