Invoking a servlet from an Application

[Ashok Palaniswamy]

I tried on this topic in the archives.. did'nt get a good answer.

I'm trying to invoke a servlet from a java Application. I'm passing url
parameters to the servlet  so that the servlet does some validations with
the parameters. The problem with the code is, the servlet is not able to get
the values that are passed as the URL parameters..

Here's the code.. can somebody tell me where I'm doin wrong.

Client code:
                try{
                        URL serverURL = new URL("http://www.xyz.com:8080/";);
                        String SERVERPATH =
"http://www.xyz.com:8080/servlet/DBServlet?login=123123123";;
                        URLConnection connect = (new URL(serverURL,
SERVERPATH)).openConnection();
                    connect.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
              connect.setUseCaches(false);
                connect.setDoInput(true);
                    connect.setDoOutput(true);
                        connect.connect();

                        reportStatus("connected to the servlet");
                        //urlConnection.doOutput(true);
                }catch(Exception urlEx){
                        System.out.println("Exception: URL:
"+urlEx.toString());
                        reportStatus("Not connected to the servlet");
                }

servlet code:

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;

public class DBServlet extends HttpServlet{

        public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {

                try {
                        System.out.println("URL Server..!!");
                }catch(Exception e1) {
                        System.out.println("Exception: DBGatewayServlet init
- e1: " +e1.getMessage());
                }
        }

            public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse
res) throws IOException, ServletException {
                System.out.println("into URLServlet");
                res.setContentType("text/html");
                PrintWriter pw = res.getWriter();
                System.out.println("LoginName: "+req.getParameter("login"));

        }
}
