calling servlet from another server.

Hello to all..

One servlet is running in my application ..in my server(it is in my system) it self..

can i call another servelt running in another application in another server(another system)..if yes...how ..please tell ..me ...

Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "call".

Your users can click on links or form submit buttons, generated by your servlet, that will generate requests to the other servlet.

You can also use response.sendRedirect to suggest that the user's browser make a request to that servlet.

Note: If the other servlet is under a different domain, the user's browser will most likely warn them that the form, link, or redirect is attempting to take them to another domain. This is usually in the form of a gray popup window.

i mean ..can i transfer my request and respose object ..to another servlet running in another domain...using RequestDispatcher..

like this..

String str ="http://remotehost:8080/RemoteApplication/RemoteServlet";

RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(str);

rd.forward(request,response); (or) rd.include(request,response);

Waiting for reply...
Thanks.

no. Those are specific to not just the server but the web application within that server which received the original request.

If you are calling for any web resource in another server context, you have become a client and must use client code to do it. You can use HttpClient from Apache Jakarta Commons to do it.

Try the following URL, You might get the solution.
