How can I access another HTTP server with standard Java APIs?
You can use the standard Java APIs to access another HTTP server. It will typically look like this: URL url = new URL(“http://someotherserver”); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConection) url.openConnection(); conn.connect(); InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(c.getInputStream()); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr); String s; while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) { // Do something with the response } br.close(); conn.disconnect(); There is also the forward/include functionality in servlets and JSP that might be useful in certain situations.
