Hi Jack, I suppose this will work. However the assumption here is that servlets can only talk to other servlets. This can restrict distributing computing somewhat. Since servlets are just Java program I see no reason why they can talk to another object using for instances plain old fashion sockets. >>> Jack Wang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/18 4:22 PM >>> I think it is possible. Servlet can be used to communicate between two of any database server so long as the database machine also runs the servlet engine. For details, when the email servlet need the old mail ids, it could call another servlet which runs in the mail ids database server, you can let the second servlet search/update/delete/insert the mail ids in the old mail ids database. In this SERVLET_USERS, many people have talked about servlet and servlet communication question. Hope this helps.
