Displaying a Page
from a URL

package mycode;

import course.application.*;

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

public class DisplayPageApp extends ApplicationBase {

private void displayPage(String strURL) {

URL url = null;

try {
url = new URL(strURL);
}
catch (MalformedURLException mue) {
System.err.println("Bad URL:\n" + mue);
System.exit(-1);
return;
}

// Now read the data line by line.

try {
InputStreamReader isr =
new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String strLine;
while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(strLine);
}
br.close();
}
catch (IOException ioe){}
}

public void init() {

if(! CommandLine.isSwitch("URL")) {
String strMsg = "Use -URL switch to indicate URL";
throw new IllegalArgumentException(strMsg);
}
displayPage(CommandLine.getSwitchValue("URL"));
}
