HTTPClient Example - Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE

Question

I am using HttpClient components from Apache for the following simple program and I see the below exception:

Exception in thread \"main\" java.lang.NoSuchFieldErr         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem. It looks like there is a problem while initializing HttpClient with HttpClientBuilder.create().build(). If you want more immediate solution just use new DefaultHttpClient() to initialize HttpClient.

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
