Operative buzz-phrase is web client programming.
For baisc web client stuff using standard java libraries:
* Try the java man page for URLConnection() (I think, sorry if error,
away from office)
* http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ - nice class library
* http://www.ibiblio.org/javafaq/slides/gsdc/wcp/ - Tutorial
slides kindly made available to net by Elliotte Rusty Harold
For more exotic approaches try:
http://db.cis.upenn.edu/W4F/ - library and language for web scraping
http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/wbi/ - tooklit for building programs
that act as both web clients and web servers.
Luca Cardelli's stuff from DEC/Compac research, do not yet understand,
looks cool though.
Companies built on these techniques (though of course they
do not obviously admit their secret sauce has such humble
ancestry)

(onDisplay was swallowed by Vignette)

I would like to make a slightly nasty,
snide remark about a more appropriate
list to post this question to, but I don't know one!
Any further poiters on web client programming in java,
web scraping and transcoding proxies, please send to me
and I'll summarize to list.
It is a fun subject that opens many possibilites
for doing active web stuff now, with content and apps that
exist today, without waiting for Xanadu type fantasies.
Cheers, Andy
