Is there a way I can route http requests

[Janaka Perera]

Hi All,

I have a servlet which works as a web service. In a one scenario, I
need to send the request i am getting from a client to another server
and send back the exact reply i am getting from the server to the
request client. Is there a way to do this or any libraries i should
look for.

Thank you

Janaka

You could send a redirect.

http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/a...tResponse.html#sendRedirect(java.lang.String)

Or do you want to do a proxy? Proxy would be more difficult.

Actually what i wanted to do is calling the other server in the doPost
or doGet method and converting them into the HttpServletResponse. I
finally managed to do it using org.apache.commons.httpclient library.
Transfered the headrers and the body using some logic in the doGet
method to the HttpServletResponse from the #rd party server response.

Thank you very much for your help. sorry if my explanation earlier was
not clear.
