I see your problem. However, I do believe that most of the recent
smart phones support javascript, including basic Ajax.
Definitely iPhone/iTouch, and I believe the T1 too. I'm not sure
about the most recent Blackberries and Nokias (but it's
something I need to find out).
I guess it would depend on exactly what your market covers.

Thanks Ken, the problem with this solution is that these pages are for
viewing on mobile phones, most of which do not have JavaScript
capability.
What I had in mind was akin to what I do on regular website when I
want a
link to generate a file that is saved to disk (an excel report app,
for
instance). In this case, I set the Content-Disposition: to file or
whatever
by calling method in the response object.
There must be something similar that can make the browser behave
like it has
just clicked a regular TEL:NNNNNNNNNN link.

Well, a very generic way of getting a hold of a "click" in the
kind of
setting you're describing
would be to an an "onclick" to the link, invoking some Javascript
doing
whatever you want.
Maybe something like <a href="tel:5555555555
onclick="myCalltrackingCode();">here</a> to listen!
Almost all html entities support onclick.

I would like to know how to imitate the click of link in JSP or
serlvet,
in
order to track clicks.
I have pages with links containing tel protocol URIs like this:
Click <a href="tel:5555555555">here</a> to listen!
I want to replace the above with something like this:
Click <a href="call_tracking.jsp?pn=5555555555">here</a> to listen!
And have call_tracking.jsp do its tracking stuff and then spawn a
phone
call, just like the first example does. I do not want to bother
the user
with another page, hence the need to accomplish the click action
programmatically. I presume this feat is achievable via Response
header
magic, I just don't know the right incantation ;-)
I should add that this is not necessarily a TEL-specific question,
I am
looking for a generic, protocol-independent mechanism for
mimicking a
"click".
Thanks
