URLConnectionReader produces UnknownHostException

Question

Thanks in advance for every input!

I'm getting a little familiar with how to read data from websites with Java and have tried to do this by reading data using a URLConnectionReader.

Unfortunately I get an UnknownHostException when I test the whole thing in a Java online compiler (https://www.jdoodle.com/online-java-compiler/).

Have I forgotten any imports? I proceeded according to a tutorial.

Code: (designed for online-java-compiler jdoodle):

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;  

public class URLConnectionReader {
    
public static void main(String[] args)  
  {  
    String output  = getUrlContents("https://www.tradegate.de/orderbuch_umsaetze.php?isin=NO0010892359");  
    System.out.println(output);  
  }  
  
  private static String getUrlContents(String theUrl)  
  {  
    StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();  

    try  
    {  
      URL url = new URL(theUrl); 
      URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection(); 
  
      BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));  
      String line;  
    
      while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)  
      {  
        content.append(line + "\n");  
      }  
      bufferedReader.close();  
    }  
    catch(Exception e)  
    {  
      e.printStackTrace();  
    }  
    return content.toString();  
  }  
}

Answer 1

I separated the classes as follows and your code works without any exceptions=>

class Mian:

public class Mian {


public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException {

    URLConnectionReader urlcr = new URLConnectionReader();
    String output = 
    urlcr.getUrlContents("https://www.tradegate.de/orderbuch_umsaetze.php? 
    isin=NO0010892359");
    System.out.println(output);

}

}

and URLConnectionReader class:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;  

public class URLConnectionReader {
 

    public String getUrlContents(String theUrl)  
    {  
         StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();  

        try  
          {  
          URL url = new URL(theUrl); 
          URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection(); 

  BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new 
  InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));  
  String line;  

  while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)  
  {  
    content.append(line + "\n");  
  }  
  bufferedReader.close();  
}  
catch(Exception e)  
{  
  e.printStackTrace();  
}  
return content.toString();  
 }  
 }
