Hi,

I am trying to understand/use the getContent() method in the URL class.
The code snippet is as follows:



	 URL myURL = new URL("http://www.cat.syr.edu/~nataraj");
	 URLConnection myConn = myURL.openConnection();
	  :
	  :

 	 Object obj = myURL.getContent();	


But when this is compiled and run, it executes this "getContent()" 
statement and gives the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun/net/www/content/text/html
        at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java)
        at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java)
        at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java)
        at Urlfun.main(Urlfun.java:30)

The contents is html ...but the classes under the sun/net/www/content/text are
plain and Generic and I couldnt find the html.class in that class directory.

If there doesnt exist a html.class, why is it being searched for?
What should I do? ANy pointers/ideas are appreciated.

thanks,
