Re: Can a servlet receive its own request?

[Michael Mehrle]

Thanks for your elaborate reply - actually, someone else also suggested to 
use commons HTTPClient. I might have over-explained all this - the major 
difference is that the servlet is being launched by Quartz, not by an 
outside HTTP request. Thus, it is the servlet that needs to be able to 
receive the response to its own request, and it appears that HTTPClient 
might enable the servlet to do this.

If however, as I suspect might be the case, your servlet is going to
actually be awaiting a reply from the outside server, then you should look
at using Commons HTTPClient.  I'm relatively sure it supports SSL
connections, and then all your doing is making a remote request, awaiting
the response and processing accordingly.  It'd be just like using the
standard URL object, but it's more robust than that.
