You can issue an HTTP request under code control. There are a number of ways to do this but one of the easiest is with a project named HttpClient.

As this is not really a Struts question, I've moved it to a more appropriate location.

Hi Bear,
Can you elaborate more on how HTTPClient will help me in forwarding request to servlet which is sitting in some other web application of same servlet container?Struts does not provide any solution for this?

HTTPClient is used to make web requests. "Calling" another web application from *within* a web application generally requires doing your own communication. If you're just making a request from the client (browser) side to the other application you don't have to do anything.
