Invoke the doGet Servlet method from java class

Question

I have a scheduled job class, implements the Quartz Job class, from which I want to invoke a Servlet class that updates a flag in a DB table and then it sends emails to an appropriate emailing list.

I get a java.net.ConnectException . Though the servlet is properly invoked by either entering its URL in the browser or by JavaScript in a JSP page.

My Java class is the following:

public class ExpirationJob implements Job {
    org.apache.log4j.Logger log = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger("ExpirationJob.class");

    public void execute(JobExecutionContext context)
            throws JobExecutionException {
        try {
            URL serv = new URL("http://localhost:8080/app/emailExpirationServlet");
            URLConnection sr = serv.openConnection();
            sr.connect();
            InputStream is = sr.getInputStream();
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(isr);

            String inputLine;
            int i =0;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
                i = i +1;
            log.debug("Input line: " + inputLine);
            in.close();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            log.debug("Error while calling the emailExpirationServlet -- MalformedURLException: "+ e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            log.debug("Error while calling the emailExpirationServlet -- IOException: "+ e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

My servlet code is:

public class emailExpireServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=UTF-8";
    org.apache.log4j.Logger log = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger("emailExpireServlet.class");

    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        super.init(config);
        log.debug("Initializing emailExpireServlet");
    }

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

        request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
        response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
        log.debug("Starting emailExpireServlet");

        //do some business logic here - I have commented it out to rule out any other blocking issue
        response.setStatus(200);
        response.getOutputStream().print("Invoked emailExpireServlet! Status is OK");

    }

    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        doGet(request, response);
    }
}

The exception I get is:

I am using Tomcat 5.5.

I have seen lots of other relative posts but did not help, I also tried with HttpClient but the same exception.

Could anyone figure out what the problem is?

The servlet configuration on the web.xml is:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>emailExpireServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>emailExpireServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
...
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>emailExpireServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/emailExpireServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Answer 1

您应该重构您的代码，将这个功能从 servlet 移到一个公共类中，该类可以从您的 servlet 和预定的作业中访问。

URLConnection Opens a communications link to the resource referenced by the URL, if such a connection has not already been established . URL.openConnection() Returns a URLConnection object that represents a connection to the remote object referred to by the URL. A new connection is opened every time by calling the openConnection method of the protocol handler for this URL.
