Fetching an image from Server

Question

Here is my code to fetch an image from a server location into a web service folder "web content".

// imports removed

public class WebService {

    public int writeToFileImage(int a) throws IOException{

        File file =new File("sdcard/myImage.jpg");
        file.createNewFile();

        URL u = new URL("http://172.29.26.40:8080/ExampleService/demo.jpg"); 
        URLConnection uc = u.openConnection(); 
        uc.connect(); 
        InputStream in = uc.getInputStream(); 
        FileOutputStream out;
        out = new FileOutputStream(file);
        final int BUF_SIZE = 1 << 8; 
        byte[] buffer = new byte[BUF_SIZE]; 
        int bytesRead = -1; 
        while((bytesRead = in.read(buffer)) > -1) { 
            out.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead); 
        } 
        in.close();
        out.close(); 
        return a;
    }
}

But i am getting an exception:

SOAP Response Envelope
- <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;

  </detail>
  </soapenv:Fault>
  </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>

What could be the cause of the error?
