JAXB - unmarshalling from url

Question

I\'m tryting to display title and id of game from this site: http://thegamesdb.net/api/GetGame.php?id=2

When I was unmarshalling from this url: http://www.w3schools.

Answer 1

The only thing that is wrong with your annotation is

public class Game {
  private int id;
  @XmlElement(name = "GameTitle") //You need to add this since first letter is uppercase, otherwise the GameTitle will not unmarshall.
  private String gameTitle; 
  ... your code ...
}

So why is it not the rest working?

Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://thegamesdb.net/api/GetGame.php?id=2

403 = Forbidden

Solution (make the server believe you are a browser)

URL url = new URL("http://thegamesdb.net/api/GetGame.php?id=2");
HttpURLConnection http = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); 
http.addRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.76"); 
InputStream is = http.getInputStream();
Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
customer = (Data) jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(is);
List<Game> games = customer.getGames();
game = games.get(0);

Note: Try catch final, close streams and checking for NullPointer is beyond this example and up to user.
