Create request in JSP and handling XML

[Pablo]

Dear all,

I am trying to do a piece of code for my work but I can´t figure where
to start from. I need to create a request to a particular URL with some
parameters that a user gives me and I will send this request to an
external server that in return will give me an XML file.
The question is, how do I create such request and how do I get informed
about the response?

I have an example in ASP, but I dont what kind of classes would help me
out.

Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

xurl="http://externalserver.example.com/?a=fetch&partnerid=" &
partnerid & "&amount=" & bedrag & "&country=" & var1

xml.Open "GET", xurl, False

xml.Send ""

HTTPReturnCode = xml.status

x_Result = xml.ResponseText 'this is my XML response file


Could anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks,
P.

Look up the "URL" class, specifically openConnection or getContents
methods. Also, look up the jstl "x" tags.
