Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi all,

I have a servlet with this response:

response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, "No Access");

I want to connect this servelt with:

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

And read the error message, but just the custom String ("No Access"). Is it possible to obtain just this string?

I've tried with:

urlConn.getResponseMessage()

but i get the generic error message (Unauthorized) instead of the custom one.

With:

urlConn.getErrorStream();

I get the whole HTML error message generated by the server, so I'd had to parse it, which is not a good solution.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance.
