It will work across containers if the containers are part of a cluster for the same application (at least in webLogics, I havent checked the Tomcat docs). If they were on different applications and different servers you cant even use the RequestDispatcher or the same session/context so you would have to open a URLConnection to communicate with another webapp servlet. If that were the case, then just send it via an ObjectOutputStream. It'll be ugly though. Look at chapter 10 of Jason Hunter's Java Servlet Programming (O'Reilly). It shows an example with servlet and applet. But u can do one from servlet to servlet. -Tim

That is, within your servlet, do this: getServletContext().setAttribute("MyHashtable", ht); Then to retrieve the Hashtable the other servlet calls getAttribute() on its ServletContext: ht = (Hashtable)getServletContext().getAttribute("MyHashtable"); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Conover" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 1:21 PM Subject: communicating directly with a servlet > Is there a way to connect directly with a servlet, except with the doGet and > doPost methods?
