Re: Can a servlet receive its own request?

[Michael Mehrle]

Yes, I'm now going the HttpClient route - and yes, I also realized that the 
object to be launched doesn't have to be a servlet at all. I was just 
anchored in thinking along those lines since I thought that the servlet 
would be the one receiving its own response. Anyway, I think I'm on the 
right track now.

Many thanks to everyone who replied to my post - every input was very 
valuable.

I've done something a little similar w/ the HTTPClient.  What I ended up 
w/ was a Object that was run in the Servlet container but was not itself a 
servlet.  Nit-picking.  Anyway, you can do this, you just have to use 
other libraries (like the Commons HTTPClient).

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.
