    Hyperlink check

    Is there any way to check whether a hyperlink is broken or not using java program?

    yes, a quick (for coder) but ugly way would be to establish a simple connection. If it exists then the tested url works.
    A nicer but heavier approach would be by using http client apache library. It supports normal "browser like" behaviour so you could send a message to an URL you need and then read response headers which would clearly say what happened.

    I had a nightmare last night. I was dreaming that I’m 64-bit and my blanket is 32-bit and I couldn’t cover myself with it, so I’ve spent the whole night freezing. And in the morning I find that my blanket just had fallen off the bed. =S (from: bash.org.ru)
