APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The NoSuchMethodException error is thrown when the application
  calls java.net.URL to open connection with parameters
  java.net.URL and java.net.Proxy. WAS does not have a method
  with these parameters. Hence, the NoSuchMethodException is
  thrown.

  ****************************************************************
  When an application invokes method
  java.net.URL.openConnection(java.net.Proxy), the URL stream
  handler service provided by the OSGi framework throws a
  java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
  java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
  at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.protocol.
  URLStreamHandlerFactoryProxyFor15.openConnection(
  URLStreamHandlerFactoryProxyFor15.java:38)
  at java.net.URL.openConnection(URL.java:1028)
  Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:
  com.ibm.ws.runtime.util.URLStreamHandlerAdapter.
  openConnection(java.net.URL, java.net.Proxy)
  at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1786)
  at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.protocol.
  URLStreamHandlerFactoryProxyFor15.openConnection(
  URLStreamHandlerFactoryProxyFor15.java:30)
  ...
  The service throws the exception because the URL stream
  handler adapter, which WAS installs as a delegate to the
  service, does not implement method openConnection(URL, Proxy).
  

Problem conclusion

• Apply APAR PI99339 to add method openConnection(URL,Proxy) to
  the WAS URL stream handler adapter and thus enable
  applications to use method URL.openConnection(Proxy).
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.5.16 and 9.0.0.11. Please refer to the
