Sébastien I believe there's a solution to your problem. The body of a serialized object can be posted with PostMethod#setRequestBody(InputStream). Session id and additional bits of information can be set as query parameters using PostMethod#setQueryString(NameValuePair[]) within the same request.
When the servlet receives the request, you can examine query parameters first and then decide what to do with the request body I hope this help Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Sebastien Alonzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 18.

Actually it does not seem so simple to me since what i really need to send to my servlet (besides some basic parameters) is a serialized java object. Your name/value pairs seem to be fit for Strings, what about more complex objects ? I know of a solution using java.net.URLConnection but it's not really compatible with parameters since when you read the parameters from the HttpServletRequest in the servlet, you cannot open an ObjectInputStream anymore form the request. If you have any clue please keep me posted.

Then retrieve these in your servlet. See the API documentation for setQueryString in HttpMethod: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/index.html In the future please post questions directly to the HttpClient mailing list.
