JAVA IPV6 problem

[dieter lin]

Hi all ,
I'm narrowing down a problem with java.net.SocketException on jdk-1.5.0.12p6,1
FreeBSD RELENG_6 .

uname -a output
FreeBSD dietertw.dyndns.org 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #4: Thu Aug  2

Here's the error:
    If I use the command "java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true Check",the
result is right.
   Hoever,  I use the command "setenv JAVA_OPS -
Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" to set environment .
   Then, I use  "the command "java Check" . The error will occur like
following :

I'm able to reproduce the error with the following code,
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class Check {

public static void main(String s[]) {
    System.out.println(exists("http://127.0.0.1/"));
// System.out.println(exists("http://www.rgagnon.com/pagenotfound.html"));
   }

static boolean exists(String URLName){
  try {
    HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
    // note : you may also need
    //        HttpURLConnection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false)
    HttpURLConnection con =
       (HttpURLConnection) new URL(URLName).openConnection();
    con.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
    return (con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK);
    }
  catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       return false;
       }
  }
}

Do Anyone meet the same error ?
