I have done applet-servlet communication by opening HttpUrlConnection. That works cool. But, when it comes to servlet-servlet, I think POST is a better way to handle this. -meera

If they were on different applications and different servers you cant even use the RequestDispatcher or the same session/context so you would have to open a URLConnection to communicate with another webapp servlet. If that were the case, then just send it via an ObjectOutputStream. It'll be ugly though. Look at chapter 10 of Jason Hunter's Java Servlet Programming (O'Reilly). It shows an example with servlet and applet. But u can do one from servlet to servlet. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Prabhu, Deepak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 3:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: communicating directly with a servlet I don't think this would work as the ServletContext is related to the servlet container and this will not work if the servlet containers are different.

That is, within your servlet, do this: getServletContext().setAttribute("MyHashtable", ht); Then to retrieve the Hashtable the other servlet calls getAttribute() on its ServletContext: ht = (Hashtable)getServletContext().getAttribute("MyHashtable"); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Conover" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 1:21 PM Subject: communicating directly with a servlet > Is there a way to connect directly with a servlet, except with the doGet and > doPost methods?
