[opencms-dev] c:import (jstl) connection refused when importing external or internal url

[Alex !]

Hi,

On our Linux install of opencms I am using the jstl <c:import tag as 
follows:

<%
        String theUrl = "http://localhost/opencms/opencms/test/test.xml"; 
//also tried with external url (which is what I want - to import - an xml 
datafeed
        pageContext.setAttribute( "getUrl", theUrl );
%>

<c:import var="xmlCode" url="${getUrl}" />
<c:out value="${xmlCode}" escapeXml="true" />

However i get an exception :

javax.servlet.ServletException: Resource loader error in file 
'/admin/uk/xmlimport.jsp'

Root cause:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Problem accessing the absolute URL 
"http://localhost/opencms/opencms/test/test.xml". java.net.ConnectException: 
Connection refused
	at 
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:254)
	at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:295)
etc...etc...

I have tried with an external url also, and the exception is the same but 
the error message is different - says it cannot resolve the external url 
(not even opencms.org!)

NOW.. funny thing the jsp works perfectly from my laptop which has an XP 
install running.

My thinking is that it may be firewall settings on the linux box, i can 
easily open up ports but I dont know which ports the jvm is trying to open 
for the c:import ? I also have a firewall on my xp laptop but his is already 
configured to open up certain ports for java processes.

Or am I missing some java library/jar?? (i dont think that is it though).

Can somebody please help, its driving me nuts!!!!


Cheers

Alex
