You will need them to provide some documentation on what exactly that URL returns. Then use something like this: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/ to get the content. Parsing / handling the content depends on what the are sending back. > one reply to this subject talked about REST. is this my solution? I thought that ERRest was mostly on the production, not consumption side. I could be wrong. It may be of some use in parsing the response in any case.
