Hallo Simon,
Yes You have understood right: I want the user's browser to call another server and dont want to continue processing my application afterwards. I also have thought about the JavaScript solution. But using a js solution generally I will write the xml-data into the user's html. I did'nt like to do that, because this (xml-)data grants You access to the other application. For this reason I wanted to hide the xml-data. But using get-Parameters the xml-data is visible the same. Maybe should think about a ajax- functionality like this: I use a commandbutton that supports ajax-request and a hidden form that makes a post-request. When the user clickes the commandbutton i can fill the data of the form via ajax and then in an after-ajax-event click the submit-button of the form via JavaScript. Do You think this will work? I hoped, there would be an more easy way.... Thank You for Your help.
