hi
Mike and Chrstopher, thanks for the help ...
my application can now call the servlet and pass on
headers to it ... the archives
were a great source of ideas and links for further
information ... thanks ...
I have pasted the code for the servlet and the
application code right at the end
(for others who may need to do the same thing..)
There is another problem that I am facing, my
application obtains the output stream and
writes to the servlet ... but at the other end, the
servlet is getting a value of null... I take
the applications input and output streams as :
PrintWriter out=new
PrintWriter(hconn.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(hconn.getInputStream()));
out.println(message);
and i take the servlets input stream as :
PrintWriter out=new
PrintWriter(request.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream);
message = in.readLine();
System.out.println("the message is :"+message);
The output of this is coming to be NULL .. i.e, the
message object is becoming null...
i saw a code sample which encoded the strings before
sending them by using the encode()
method of the URLEncoder class ... i tried that out
but that also doesnt seem to work ...
please take a look at the code, right at the end ...
Thanks for yr help and consideration ...
Regards,
Ritin Mathur
P.S. Christopher, thanks for the link to the
HTTPClient library ... it looks pretty neat ... i'll
be trying it out, once i get this damn thing working
...
