Like a proxy? Do you need to process the request from within the servlet at all, or are you really just proxying? If you're just proxying, might I recommend something like squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/)? I'm sure you can disable caching and make it always forward requests. > My first idea was to use something like Apache httpclient, or anyway, > writing a java HTTP client allowing my servlet to send GET request > before returning httpResponse. Httpclient will work. I don't recommend writing your own client unless you have some decent Java chops... lots of ways to leak resources and stuff when you're working with URLConnections. > I wonder if there were other better solutions, which could be more > "RequestDispatcher-like". I don't think there's really anything out there like RemoteRequestDispatcher.forward(request, response), but you could write one that wraps, say, httpclient. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmMVRMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAt6QCcCuodj12SNtIqrRFczag+903S hHIAnRXCbKkI09XP6jymopQE5XWCZBDA =CJc9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
