About Question enthuware.ocejws.v6.2.205 :

For the sake of discussion, I initially thought connection.connect() is considered as a set up method.
Because I thought without connect(), the client won't receive any input.
But I found an example from a book, which doesn't even need this method.
The openConnection() will connect to the service.

However, I think disconnect() is necessary as the end of the client's application.

To clean up the resources nicely, yes.

Hi,

I saw this in API:

It should be noted that a URLConnection instance does not establish the actual network connection on creation. This will happen only when calling URLConnection.connect().

So do we need the connect() method or not ?

Thanks,

Hi

Yes, you are right this is written in the API. However you can also deduct from the following phrase that it is not always necessary:

In general, creating a connection to a URL is a multistep process

All examples I have seen so far (and all my code snippets) can do without the explicit call to the connect method.

Hello ,

I believe the answers will be clearer if you removed connection.connect(); from the available options.
It is confusing beside "This is not a setup method."

For me it can be correct answer in the subject context.

Hi,

I agree it can make you confused. I will change this option.

Thanks for your feedback!
