Can anyone let me know the solution for above exception.

Answer 1

I think its problem with your.net connection or your firewall may block the java program to access inte.net.

Answer 2

I think you are behind the proxy or firewall. Check your current firewall status in your system.Also, if it is related to proxy, you can modify the code like this.

System.getProperties().put( "proxySet", "true" );
System.getProperties().put( "proxyHost", "your proxy host name" );
System.getProperties().put( "proxyPort", "85" );

May be this will help you.

Answer 3

Seems there is some trouble with the Inte.net connection or you are behind a proxy,

set the proxy settings (Host/Port/Username/Password) if this is the case.
