calling servlet from java in different paths

[preethi Ayyappan]

Hi

I am having a java program (sample1.java)in the path /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin. my servlet program(sample2.java) is in another path /usr/local/apache-tomcat/webapps/voicebroadcast/WEB-INF/classes.

Is it possible to call servlet from java like

sample2 s2=new sample2();
s2.doGet(request, response);

Thanks in advance

Where will you get the request and response implementations from?

[preethi Ayyappan]

sorry.I dont need to get the request and response.but can i get just a string variable like

sample2 s2=new sample2();
String var= s2.campaign;

Then how would you plan to call doGet() without a request and response?

[preethi Ayyappan]

yes.I didn't think about that.so, is it impossible to call the servlet from java? or any other way?

Not without implementing a servlet container yourself, which I assume is not your intention.

What is it that you are really trying to accomplish?

If you need some business logic provided by the other servlet, then that servlet code is likely subject to refactoring. Separate the tight coupled code into separate class(es) so that you could reuse it in another (servlet) classes.

If you actually need to access the servlet by HTTP request and you need its HTTP response programmatically, then take a look for java.net.URLConnection or, a bit more enhanced, the Apache Commons HttpClient API.
