Spring RestTemplate connection reset

Question

I'm trying to consume a REST service with Spring facilities following this guide but I'm having a problem with the connection. I want to access with GET method the REST service

http://date.jsontest.com/

I've written this piece of code to consume the service

package pack;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.annotation.Generated;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAnyGetter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAnySetter;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonPropertyOrder;


public class RestUtilityTest {

    @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
    @JsonPropertyOrder({
        "time",
        "milliseconds_since_epoch",
        "date"
    })
    public class DateTime {

        @JsonProperty("time")
        private String time;
        @JsonProperty("milliseconds_since_epoch")
        private Integer milliseconds_since_epoch;
        @JsonProperty("date")
        private String date;
        private Map<String, Object> additionalProperties = new HashMap<String, Object>();

        @JsonProperty("time")
        public String getTime() {
            return time;
        }

        @JsonProperty("time")
        public void setTime(String time) {
            this.time = time;
        }

        @JsonProperty("milliseconds_since_epoch")
        public Integer getMilliseconds_since_epoch() {
            return milliseconds_since_epoch;
        }

        @JsonProperty("milliseconds_since_epoch")
        public void setMilliseconds_since_epoch(Integer milliseconds_since_epoch) {
            this.milliseconds_since_epoch = milliseconds_since_epoch;
        }

        @JsonProperty("date")
        public String getDate() {
            return date;
        }

        @JsonProperty("date")
        public void setDate(String date) {
            this.date = date;
        }

        @JsonAnyGetter
        public Map<String, Object> getAdditionalProperties() {
            return this.additionalProperties;
        }

        @JsonAnySetter
        public void setAdditionalProperty(String name, Object value) {
            this.additionalProperties.put(name, value);
        }

    }

    @Test
    public void getTest()
    {

        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
        DateTime datetime = restTemplate.getForObject("http://date.jsontest.com", DateTime.class);

        assertTrue(datetime != null);

    }

}

The application throws the following exception stack

I tried the REST call with two different network connections so that's not a network connection problem; moreover if I visit the service from a browser I can get the response correctly.

What can be the problem?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Solved. The problem is bound to the network connection. The network I belong is firewalled and proxied. now I'm trying to understand how to make things done with the firewalled network (it's my company one).
