Theo,
Does the servlet take any input parameters from a Http POST or GET
request? By default, URLConnection is set up to do a GET request. You can
supply the parameters and values as part of the URL in the query
string. If your servlet expects posted data, you will need to call the
setDoOutput(true) method on the connection and then output the parameter
values to the output stream of the connection (once they have been
URLEncoded) and then close the output stream.
ie. From (Core Java Vol. II pg 177)
URL url = new URL("http://your host script");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
// If you are sending text (simulating a browser) it is convenient to use a
PrintWriter
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
// send the data to the server
out.print("var_1=" + URLEncoder.encode(val1) + "&");
out.print("var_2=" + URLEncoder.encode(val2) + "&");
.
.
out.print("var_n=" + URLEncoder.encode(val_n) + "\n");
out.close();
// You can now read the response in the usual way
BufferedReader in = new
BufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
String line;
While ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
{
// process line
}

Richard
