To facilitate HTTP comms between your action and a third party web-app you may wish to look at the client portion of Apache HTTPComponenents http://hc.apache.org/ (which I've never used although I've used it in it's previous incarnation as HttpClient) or HttpUnit (http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/) which is heavier and emulates a browser in it's own right. Originally designed for unit-testing web pages, it works well when used to scrape third-party web-apps, form-fill etc etc. Regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
