This may be a silly question, but is it possible to issue
a POST request from a JSP page to a servlet running on the
same server IN THE SAME SESSION as the JSP page?
My JSP displays a form on a GET, and is also the target
when the form is submitted (POST). In the POST handler, I
want to create an XML document from the form fields, then
issue a POST back to the servlet that controls the application
IN THE SAME SESSION that the JSP is running in. However, I'm
not sure how to accomplish this. I am using response.encodeUrl
to encode the servlet URL, but this didn't help. Here is the
code I'm using in my JSP POST handler:
...
String urlString = (String)session.getValue("register.url");
...
HttpURLConnection conn;
Writer o;
URL url = new URL(urlString + "?op=batch");
urlString = response.encodeUrl(urlString);
System.out.println("After encoding URL: " + urlString);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection ();
conn.setDoOutput (true);
conn.setUseCaches (false);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "text/xml;charset=UTF-8");
o = new OutputStreamWriter (conn.getOutputStream (), "UTF8");
o.write(...);
...
o.flush ();
o.close (); // ESSENTIAL!
System.out.println("After output stream close");
...
Is there a way to stuff the current session object into the new
HttpURLConnection
object? Or, is this a silly thing to attempt to do?
