Funny how questions follow fashion. We've had 5 or six questions like
this during thr week.


>I want to pass an XML string between 2 servlets,

It does...


>Servlet A
> URL servletb = new URL("URL to servletB");
> URLConnection connection = servletb.openConnection();
> System.out.println("Loading 0");
> System.out.println("Sending");
> connection.setDoOutput(true);
> PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());


try adding this:

   out.println();

> out.println("Hello");

and this:

   out.println();

> out.close();
> System.out.println("Sent");


>ServletB
>  System.out.println("LoadingB");
>  System.out.println("Receiving");
>  BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
>  new InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
>  String inputLine;
>  while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
>  System.out.println(inputLine);
>   in.close();

The reason is that the HTTP header is ended with a blank line and the
output ends with a blank line.

You might also need to set some request headers (use an
HttpURLConnection) for things like Content-Type.

I'm fairly sure that the URLConnection will automatically detect that
you're using HTTP and construct the correct HTTP request - but you
need to check that. If it doesn't you need to set the method of the
request according to the HTTP protocol.
