How do I know if I have successfully connected to the URL I opened a connection with?

To check if I can connect to the web-app named service I open a connection to its address.How do I check if have connected to this URL/Service ? I was thinking of sending some sort of status method (as a client tries to open connection to this URL) that determines if the client was able to establish a successful connection to the service. But how do I do that ?

I was trying something like this : 

          final URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8084/service/index.jsp");
          final URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
          InputStream response = urlc.getInputStream();
          // Now call a method in the service app that sends a status method...
          // .....or can I get away with this ?

I suggest

    URL url = new URL("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13775103/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-successfully-connected-to-the-url-i-opened-a-connection");
    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    System.out.println(conn.getResponseCode());

it prints 200 (OK)
