how do I invoke servlet from a servlet in different web application?

[Jason Novotny]

Hi,

I would like to know how I can invoke a servlet in one web application from a servlet in another web application? Also, how would I do this if the other servlet is hosted in another servlet container on another machine?

My goal is to provide a web application framework that other web applications can plug into, so that I can re-deploy the secondary web application while still running my main framework servlet. What are the potential security/performance issues associated with this?

Finally, I see that server.xml has an option to allow for the reloading of web applications whose servlet classes/JSP's have changed. However this may be to resource consumptive on a production server-- is there any way I can send an "admin" command to reload servlets whose timestamp has changed (push rather than pull model)?

Thanks for the help, Jason
