301 Moved Permanently, URLConnection and HTTPURLConnection

-
If a website has applied a redirection from "BaseUrl" to "BaseUrl/" then what you see the response by hitting "" in your browser "301 Moved Permanently" and redirected to "/"

How to deal this situation when creating a URLConnection and know to what URL you have been redirected to?

If you specify
URLConnection con = new URL(uri).openConnection();


It would create a connection. Later if you try to get the URL from the "con" object.
con.getURL().toString();


This would give you the "BaseUrl" and you would not get the redirected URL.

But if you create a HttpURLConnection instead of URLConnection.
HttpURLConnection httpURLCon = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(uri).openConnection();
then if you try to get the URL it would give the correct redirected URL "BaseUrl/"

If anyone does get contradictory results, please do let me know.

Hibernate: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session

People working with Hibernate might be familiar with the below error. org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateSystemException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session: nested exception is org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session This exception is generated when we try to load an instance object in session which has been already loaded by hibernate. Easier said than done. Hibernate considers two persistent entities identical if the two rows of the table can be said identical. Above error could be generated in many ways and there may be various solutions on net like using session merge etc to get away with the problem. I will discuss here the reason for me getting this problem and the way I resolved it. Below is the code which generated the exception for me. Following is the method which caused the exception @Transactional(propagation=Propagation.
