Creating a parameter

[sabino bolino]

Hi all,
This is my problem:
From my webApp A i've to call a resource ( a servlet )on another webApp B ( neither in the same ear file nor in the same Application server ) and I need to pass an .xml file as parameter ( not as attribute ).
How can I do ?

Thanks a lot
Sabino

Either have the XML stored on a shared database or a shared file sever of some sort and when you call the other webapp have it go get the file.

Another options is to have a servlet on App B handle a file upload post from App A.

Thanks Gregg...
I don't have the .xml file stored anywhere but WebApp create it at runtime trasforming some JavaBeans into .xml file.
I've in mind something like this:

create the .xml file in a .jsp ( using the classes of the framework which makes the trasformation JavaBean==> .xml file ) and make a submit ( calling the method post ) at loading the page...
What's your point ?

thanks again.

And what exactly do you intend to POST?
