Inject URL() Spring Autowired

Question

I wish to inject the Java URL class into my Spring project, however URL takes an argument (of the URL you wish to open).

How can I go about doing this?

I currently have

private HttpURLConnection getConnectionHandler(String urlToPing) throws MalformedURLException, IOException, ProtocolException {
        URL url = new URL(urlToPing);

        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

        connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        connection.connect();

        return connection;
    }

Answer 1

Spring already converts a String into an URL it does this out-of-the-box.

Simple change the method signature to use an URL instead of a String .
