How to: call a Servlet within a java class

[Marco]

Hi to all!

I have an Apache Tomcat 5.0.19 Server installed on a machine in my network
(ip address: 192.168.0.211, port 8080)

I've a Servlet running on it. FileUploadServlet uses "FileUpload package" from
Apache Jakarta Project (see: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/), in
order to implement Upload services

I'm able to call this Servlet from a jsp test page: FileUploadServletTest.jsp
is on 192.168.0.211 and I can call it from any machine in my network, calling
http://192.168.0.211:8080/UploadTest/FileUploadServletTest.jsp

The Servlet works fine!

Now: I want to call this Servlet from a java class. This class is called
UploadStockFile.java and is part of a standalone Swing-based java program.
This program is running on a machine in my network (ip: 192.168.0.112)

How can I do this? How can I call this servlet from a java class?

Any idea greatly appreciated

Thanks and sorry for bad english

Bye

Marco

I guess you need to open an URL (which happens to be a servlet in your case)
and not a servlet directly (calling yourServlet.service() or something)

Use an HTTP client, e.g. the one found at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons
or play with java.net.URLConnection,
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLConnection.html

Have a look at java.net.URL.

Most likely, one of your other responses will be helpful. If not,
please describe what you mean by "call". The phrase "call a servlet" is
not a well-defined or commonly used phrase, so everyone is guessing at
what you mean by it. You could be more specific about what you'd like
to happen, and possibly get better answers.
