How to use java to fill in a web page and pull back the results?

Hey I am relatively new to java, and I am trying to make an application that does the following:

  1. Sends a request to a live website
  2. Retrieves the data of that page

For example, assume the following site displays game results, where 'game=500' shows the results for game number 324 of 500 different games. http://www.some-site.com/results.php?game=324

I would like to use a Java program to automatically cycle through the game=1 to game=500, posting to the website and retrieving the results of the page.

What is the best way to do this? Can anyone giv开发者_开发知识库e me a simple example? If I knew the correct java 'key words', I would google for some tutorials on this concept.

Note: the target-page in question is php


URL url;
InputStream is = null;
DataInputStream dis;
String line;
for(int i=1;i<=500;i++){
try {
    url = new URL("http://www.some-site.com/results.php?game="+i);
    is = url.openStream();  // throws an IOException
    dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is));

    while ((line = dis.readLine()) != null) {
        //do sth with the datea
    }
} catch (MalformedURLException mue) {
     mue.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
     ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    try {
        is.close();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
        // nothing to see here
    }
 }
}


Do something like the answer in this other stackoverflow page

and then you want to use a for loop for loop through pages 1 through 500.


Apache has some really good Java libraries for accessing HTTP. See this for more details.
