how to specify domain in "url" , in getServletContext() . getContext("url")

[vijay dadhwal]

Hi,

Need to access Context root of an web application running on different domain.

getServletContext().getContext("http:\\www.<domainname>:<port>\<context>")
returns null, also i learnt that we cannot specify domain as a part of url in getContext(url) method.

How do we achieve this ?

A context doesn't know what domain(s) under which it is running.
A request will know which domain was used to reach it; usually.

A container could be listening to several domains (or none).

For example, if your application is set up to run under www.abc.com, you could also hit that app from the local machine with localhost or no domain at all by typing in the IP 127.0.0.1.

Hi,

If there are 2 web applications running on different domain servers
A.com & B.com

then how do a servlet/jsp from A.com could access servlet/jsp/html of B.com.

then how do a servlet/jsp from A.com could access servlet/jsp/html of B.com.

By using redirect.

Hi,

I want to use include(request,response) rather than response.sendRedirect().

If it's on a different server, you can't use requestDispatchers to forward or include.
