What (besides HTTP) would you suggest? After all, that's what (most)
servlets do -- answer HTTP requests!
As it happens, making HTTP requests from one servlet to another is
really easy, using the java.net.URLConnection or
java.net.HttpURLConnection classes that are built in. The Javasoft
online tutorial has some good examples of how to do this.
Using HTTP means you are "limited" to the normal request/response
paradigm, of course. If you need more interactivity than that with the
second server, you might investigate making your application on that
machine an RMI or CORBA-based server object, or an EJB, instead of a
servlet. Then, you can essentially call the remote methods directly.
