I am trying to get the linked example code to work, but am experiencing a SocketException (below). I am using java 7.
https://github.com/smartystreets/LiveAddressSamples/blob/master/java/LiveAddressExample.java
IO Exception Error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.icat.coastal.processor.SmartyStreetAddress.main(SmartyStreetAddress.java:71)
I think this is due to this line:
DataOutputStream outgoing = new DataOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream());
I tried adjusting the firewall as suggested here, but it did not work: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com/java-networking/17319-java-net-socketexception-connection-reset.html
How do I dig deeper to determine the problem, or what do you think could be wrong?
I just tried a fresh attempt, copying straight from the github example and inserting my auth-id and auth-token. Here's what my terminal session looked like:
$ java -version

So at this point I'm having trouble replicating the error. A coworker of mine tried the same thing with java 1.6 and that also worked. Are there any other details you can provide about your environment or any details related to edits you've done to the code?
