Calling a servlet from within a Server-Side plugin


Susan Hanson (1.6k2201194) | asked Nov 11 '14, 12:08 p.m.
 I have a server-side plugin Participant which I am trying to get to call a Servlet using a URLConnection.

I am able to deploy it with Jetty (localhost), and it triggers correctly, and I get the request into my Servlet.
I then packaged it, deployed to my standalone test server on the same laptop.  The SSP gets the trigger and attempts to send the request, but fails.

It uses this code:
    URL myurl = new URL("http://myserver.com:9080/MyServlet/Servlet?command=create");
URLConnection myURLConnection = myurl.openConnection();
myURLConnection.setConnectTimeout(2000);
myURLConnection.setReadTimeout(2000);
   myURLConnection.connect();
   BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
    myURLConnection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
String comment="";
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
comment=comment + " " + inputLine;
}
in.close();

So...
Works from an SSP deployed to Jetty 4.0.5
Works in standalone java program (going to servlet)
Works if I copy/paste the URL into a browser
FAILS from an SSP deployed to an RTC 4.0.5 server

Any Ideas??

did u start the server in debug mode?  if so you could connect from eclipse to the server and then put a breakpoint on your plugin entrypoint. and debug it from there.. I never use Jetty, always debug on a full deployment of the rtc server.

if you have any extra jars needed, you put them in the plugins libs folder too, right?
