connecting J2SE application to a servlet

[Mahesh S]

Hi

I am writing a stand-alone java application. I would like the
application to invoke a servlet which in turn would do some database
operation. I have the servlet working. How do I make the stand-alone
application talk to the servlet? Any pointers will be very helpful.

Thanks
Mahesh

You could use URL's openStream for a GET with a query string or
URLConnection for POSTing.

How about via an HTTP request to your webserver or application server?

You can use URL.openConnection() to establish a connection to a servlet. The URL
would be the URL of your servlet.
