I've been trying to create a cell phone interface for a smart sensor network but it requires authentication to a
servlet online and submits queries to a remote server that manages the sensors (both the authentication and queries are to the same URL) For some reason my code doesnt want to contact that URL and I can't seem to figure out why. I've been using CORE J2ME by John Muchow and used primarily the code from chapter 14 (pg 534). The program uses POST to submit username and password strings. The servlet should return true if valid. Then the midlet submits the username and the type of data it wants (amount of light in room, temperature etc) which the selvet returns in
string (The temperature is ___) I didn't write the servlet and having a problem interpreting some of the statements, but I understand the bulk of it. I did write the midlet though and it does compile. Here are the functions that dont want to work (the prog crashes when it comes to them)
Here are the functions that are giving me trouble.
private void login() throws IOException
{
HttpConnection http = null;
OutputStream oStrm = null;
InputStream iStrm = null;
boolean ret=false;
String url = "192.168.100.101:8080";
System.err.println("Login parameters set");
try
{
System.err.println("Login");
http = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
oStrm = http.openOutputStream();
http.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
http.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
byte data[] = ("account=" + tfAccount.getString()).getBytes();
oStrm.write(data);
data = ("&password=" + tfPassword.getString()).getBytes();
oStrm.write(data);
oStrm.flush();
iStrm = http.openInputStream();
ret = processlogin(http, iStrm);
if(ret)
display.setCurrent(lsMain);
else
display.setCurrent(lsRetry);
}
finally
{
// Clean up
if (iStrm != null)
iStrm.close();
if (oStrm != null)
oStrm.close();
if (http != null)
http.close();
}
}
private boolean processlogin(HttpConnection http, InputStream iStrm) throws IOException
{
if (http.getResponseCode() == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
I'm just wondering if there is any special library or statement I'm missing. I've even tried running all of this locally on the server to no avail. Could somebody let me know if there are some common errors regarding accessing HTTP i might be missing? Thank you in advance I really appreciate it.
