Calling a jsp method from a java application

[tiewknvc9]

Hi!

I'm trying to call a jsp method from a java application, only I don't
know how to do it.

The idea is to get 2 variables from my application, and communicate
with a database on my server - sadly my hosting company does not allow
me to directly connect to my online database (they suck). So what I
would like to do is send these 2 variables to a servlet method, and
return some value back to my application.

Only to me, it seems impossible to do it this way.

Please let me know your thoughts...

Thanks

It's crazy.

The servlet is also in you application?

No, that's really my question. I need to run a database query, but I
can only access the database from a servelt, or jsp page.

I'm building an application... so I cannot directly access the
database from the application. I want to run a query through a jsp/
servlet function or something...

So just call a JSP page with some arguments and the page can return the
information.

I think this is not a problem,you just call the jsp with http
reqeust,and then pasre the response in your application.
The response may be a XML document or a pure text,it's not too
diffcult.
