If you can't add a cross-domain file in the target server, there's not much
you can do from the swf side.
You can, however, use some server side logic to make a "bridge" between your
swf and the JSP page. You can have the swf connect to some server-side
script (hosted locally or in some server where you can add a crossdomain
policy file) that will actually connect to the target JSP and return the
results.
I've done this in php and in .NET, and I'm sure you can do it with a JSP, if
that's what you have available in your server.
In php, it could be as easy as:
$jsp_return = file_get_contents("
http://target_domain/some.jsp?someVar=someValue";);
echo $jsp_return;
If you have fopen wrappers enabled in you php config (if you don't,
file_get_contents will fail when it finds http:// in the begining of the
file name) .
If you need more control and you're using php, you can use the cUrl
functions.
Hope it helps.
