calling one servlet from another servlet in separate JVM's

Hi,

We have 2 separate tomcat instances running on different physical servers. I want to call servlet A on server 1 from servlet b on server 2.

Please help. I need to pass the same request and response parameters which i have recived in servlet b. i.e. I want to forward a request . I guess the requestdispatcher will not work as it's different jvm and web.xml.

Regards,
Dev

You'll need to make an HTTP request to the remote servlet.

You can use the classes in the java.net package, or use a higher-level API such as HttpClient.

Thanks for the response. How do I set the same httpRequest and HttpResponse when i call the other servlet using apache HTTPClient. I need to forward the request.

You don't, and you can't. You need to make a separate request tot he remote server.

Ok, But the HttpRequest which I get has a lot of information in it. I recieve it in via doPost. I want to send all that info as it is to the other servlet. Please help. Thanks.

Create a post request with the same body.

It's time for you to look at the API you intend to use and figure out how to make a POST with it.

No one is being paid here to write your code for you.
