Hi,

I'm using the latest jar 1.1.2 and I'm receiving an exception to include my username. I have included this in my code and do not know why it is suddenly not working when it just worked. Are there issues with the servers?

Below is a snippet of the code I'm using for the calls.

Code:

 ToponymSearchCriteria searchCriteria = new ToponymSearchCriteria();
 searchCriteria.setStyle(Style.FULL);
 searchCriteria.setQ(loc.replaceAll("_", " "));
 searchCriteria.setMaxRows(1);
 WebService.setUserName(username);			
 ToponymSearchResult searchResult = WebService
 						.search(searchCriteria);

I tested my code with the 1.1.1 jar and the code works fine. Is there something different in the 1.1.2 jar that would cause the username not to be passed along?

I figured it out. My countryBias had a space in it which was causing the problem. I added the URLEncoder to it and everything works fine now.
