[Biojava-l] Exception found in GenbankSequenceDB -- getSequence

[Johnny Hujol]

Hi,
I'm using biojava-1.30-jdk14.jar with
C:\>java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode)
On W2000 SP2.

When running this little Java code:

Sequence seqObject = null;

try {
    seqObject = genbankSequenceDB.getSequence(text);
    SeqIOTools.writeGenbank(System.out, seqObject);
} catch (Exception e1) {
    e1.printStackTrace();
}
String sequence = seqObject.seqString();

This throws the following exception:

Process finished with exit code 0

The url looks good but it seems that the parser does not get anything 
from the data returned by the server.
What's happening?
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
J
