502 means "Bad Gateway". See http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E502.html.

The server the Java client is talking to is the "gateway". That server was depending on another server (called the "upstream" server) to give it a response and it failed.

In my experience, 502 errors are sporadic, and can indicate problems with server architecture.
