Hi Catherine,
No, we are not reading the API differently. Reflection is also used in
generic GUI builders and Bean development. And the app where you have used
reflection is one such category (ie generic) Whereas, when you asked if
reflection could be used for Application-Servlet communication, this is
definitely not in the same category.
I guess sockets are you're best bet here. Also, I'm not certain, but you'll
have to use the policy tool to allow your application to talk to your
server(ie if the application does not reside on your server).
Regards,
-Shital
