Use of URL, openConnection and URLConnection

[CdnRebel]

I'm trying to write a class to connect to a website. I've imported java.net.* and java.io.*, and on the following code
I keep getting a cannot resolve on hp:

URL hp = new URL("

http://www.yahoo.com");

URLConnection conn = hp.openConnection();

I'm not familiar enough with the packages to know, if I'm using them properly; but as far as I can tell the code seems right. Can some one help? I can't see anything wrong.

Try to enclose you code in a try-catch block, that should give you error messages, if there are any.


try{
URL hp = new URL("

http://www.yahoo.com";);

URLConnection conn = hp.openConnection();
}catch(Excpetion mfe){ System.out.println(mfe.toString());}

I left the try and catch statements out of my query because I thought they were a given. Nevertheless, I tried the try and catch statements in the manner suggested and my result was still the same. cannot resolve symbol
symbol: variable hp
location: class TestURL
URLConnection conn = hp.openConnection();

Don't know if this helps, I copyd and pated it.
The only difference I see is that the urlconnection is declared first and then opened (should not matter as far as I know).

URLConnection con;
StringBuffer strbufAll = new StringBuffer();
String str;
java.net.URL uu;
try{
uu = new URL("

http://someurl/");

con = uu.openConnection();
con.setDoInput(true);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
while((intChar = in.read())!=-1){
strbufAll.append((char) intChar);
}
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
str = strbufAll.toString();
