I have the following code in google appengine to check if twitter credentials are valid using twitter4j
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) {
String Test = "Testing Twitter4J";
try {
ConfigurationBuilder confbuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
confbuilder.setOAuthAccessToken("A")
.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("B")
.setOAuthConsumerKey("C")
.setOAuthConsumerSecret("D");
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(confbuilder.build()).getInstance();
User user = twitter.verifyCredentials();
Test = "Successfully updated the status to [" + user.getScreenName() + "].";
} catch (TwitterException e) {
Test = "no";
}
try {
resp.getOutputStream().write(Test.getBytes());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return;
}
If the credentials are valid, they work as expected. If I cancel access, so the credentials are invalid, I get an error when creating the application:
Uncaught exception from servlet
twitter4j.TwitterRuntimeException: 401:Authentication credentials (https://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth) were missing or incorrect. Ensure that you have set valid consumer key/secret, access token/secret, and the system clock is in sync.
message - Invalid or expired token
code - 89

TwitterException{exceptionCode=[93f2523c-8b74a4e3], statusCode=401, message=Invalid or expired token, code=89, retryAfter=-1, rateLimitStatus=null, version=3.0.3}
from "User user = twitter.verifyCredentials ();" line. I was expecting a TwitterException to be thrown from javadoc at:
http://twitter4j.org/javadoc/twitter4j/api/UsersResources.html#verifyCredentials ()
but it looks like I'm getting a TwitterRuntimeException. What for? I cannot find TwitterRuntimeException exception notes in javadocs.
