How to open another URL after executing base URL by using Selenium RC with Java

Question

I have following methods of my class Test: (Selenium RC, JUnit, Java, Eclipse)

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox","https://www.google.com/");
    selenium.start();
   }
@Test
public void testGoogle() throws Exception {
     selenium.open("https://www.google.com");
......
........
     }

After execution of Google site, I want to switch yahoo site from Google. I have written the following code of snippet:

@Test
public void testYahoo() throws Exception {
     selenium.open("http://www.yahoo.com/"); //error in this line
........
........
     }

I found the following errors:

It seems you need to close previous selenium session or reuse selenium instance:

private static Selenium selenium;

@BeforeClass
public static void beforeClass() throws Exception {
    selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox","https://www.google.com/");
    selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testGoogle() throws Exception {
    selenium.open("https://www.google.com");
}

@Test
public void testYahoo() throws Exception {
    selenium.open("https://www.yahoo.com");
}
