You can't create an HttpServletRequest or Response directly, but you can
certainly use
the java.net.URL and java.net.URLConnection classes to open a connection to
a URL,
submit data, and receive a response. The URL in question can be local or
external - it
makes no difference.
The returned data can be read from the URLConnection and used in generating
the HttpResponse.
from your servlet.
