The Autodiscover service couldn't be located

Question

I am using EWS Java API 1.1 to access an Exchange 2010 account as follows:

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService();
ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials(email,
    password);
service.setCredentials(credentials);
service.autodiscoverUrl("adamb@fabrikam.com");
Folder inbox = Folder.bind(service, WellKnownFolderName.Inbox);
System.out.println("messages: " + inbox.getTotalCount());

I am getting the following exception:

Answer 1

It works fine after removing the autodiscover:

service.autodiscoverUrl("adamb@fabrikam.com");

and setting it manually as follows:

service.setUrl(new java.net.URI(
                    "https://myhostname/EWS/Exchange.asmx"));
