Jason Hunter's book has some examples that should help. Also "Java Examples
in A Nutshell" from O'Reilly has some good stuff on getting the results of
an http request from Java code.
Most easily you could try:
URL u = new URL(resource);
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(u.openStream());
String s;
while ((s = in.readLine()) != null){
// do something with it;
}
in.close();
where resource is a url of your servlet + query string that you build up to
give it arguments.
