URL url = new URL("http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml");
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoOutput(true);

        String cridentials = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode((username + ":" + password).getBytes());

        conn.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic " + cridentials);

        OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
        wr.write(status);
        wr.flush();
        wr.close();

why the above code for updating twitter status is not working ? i am running it on google app engine.
