This is not Java, but one way this could happen is Google buys or gets
a free subscription to the WSJ.  That enables them to spider and index
it.

The WSJ designed their security system around their own search engine
refusing to find pages, not on refusing the serve them once the URL is
known.  I have a dim view of the WSJ for reasons unrelated to the
competence of their programmers.
