forwarding to a remote host
Hello list, I have a servlet that handles POST requests. Sometimes the request needs to be forwarded to a different servlet, which may be running on a different server. What is the best way to do that? Thanks, Zohar.

not unless you've got clustering setup and the cluster is correctly sharing session data. the session data is otherwise local to the server in use.

I usually use the Jakarta Commons HTTPClient for this. Check out http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/ Anyone have a better suggestion?

What's the easiest way to transfer all the data from the Request to the PostMethod? - Original Message - From: Avi Deitcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 14:38 Subject: Re: forwarding to a remote host Zohar, - In the same host context, use RequestDispatcher.forward() - In the same host but different context, if cross-context enabled, get the RequestDispatcher for that context then use forward() - Different host entirely, or cross-context not enabled, you will probably need to rebuild the request.
