org.apache.http.client.httpclient is abstract cannot be instantiated

Question

Im trying to use apache HttpClient 4.1.2 but the debugger shows

org.apache.http.client.httpclient is abstract; cannot be instantiated

when I do:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

Any idea on how to use it then ?

Thx

Answer 1

You have to find an actual implementation for that class. Abstract classes can never be directly initiated.

The javadoc knows 3 implementing classes you can use DefaultHttpClient and ContentEncodingHttpClient .

The javadoc even has a short sample on that topic.

Answer 2

使用一种具体的实现。
