Question

I was trying to use the Apache Ant Get task to get a list of WSDLs generated by another team in our company. They have them hosted on a weblogic 9.x server on http://....co

Answer 1

I know this is an old thread but I found a solution not listed anywhere here.

I was trying to pull data in json format from a J2EE servlet on port 8080 but was receiving the file not found error. I was able to pull this same json data from a php server running on port 80.

It turns out that in the servlet, I needed to change doGet to doPost.

Hope this helps somebody.
