Is accessing a servlet through a java client possible.
[285 byte] By [Nandan.Srivastavaa] at [2007-11-26 20:08:23] 
Is it possible to call a servlets method (say doPost) from a standalone java application?How can we do this? I think for connecting to a servlet I would need to create an HTTP Request object and pass it to a specific URL. This is what the browser does. Am I right?

I have done this in several propjects and recommend using the Apache Commons HttpClient project.tolmanka at 2007-7-9 23:11:04 >

If you only need to make a GET request and receive the generated content without much interaction, URL and HttpURLConnection can do it without too much pain ;-)benubacha at 2007-7-9 23:11:04 >
