Right way to use EntityUtils.toString()

[Joan Balagueró]

Hello,



This is the first time I need to use EntityUtils.toString(). My code is:



try

{

( . . . )

response = cluster.getHttpClient().performRequest(request);

String body = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity(),
GenericConstants.ENCODING_UTF8);



( . . . )

}

catch (Exception e)

{

( . . . )

}



Is this the right way to use it? My questions:



1. Do I need to check previously that response.getEntity is null
before calling EntityUtils.toString()?

2. Do I need to close the connection in any way, or
EntityUtils.toString() is responsible to get the connection back to the pool
(even in case of exception)?



Thanks,

Joan.

Hi,

The right way would be executing queries like this:

String response = httpClient.execute(new HttpGet(url), new
BasicResponseHandler());

Alex
