Calling servlets from main()?

Hi
I would like to know that while calling servlets from another class having main(), how can we set the type of request i.e. put, post or get?
Thanks

use the method - setRequestMethod( "POST") of HttpURLConnection for setting the method to POST.Similarly for other methods..

Calling servlet from a java program

Hi
I need to call a servlet's doPost() method from a java program. I have a specific situation, where I need to call servlet from a java program. DUring this call I need to pass a file and two string to the servlet. Servelt after receiving the file and string uploads the file to the server at a specified location. I am stuck up as how to call servlet from a java program instead of a HTML or JSP.
Can anyone help me to start with this.
any suggestion is welcome.

You have to establish a URLConnection with servlet from your java program.
URL servletURL = new URL("http://localhost:8080/Myservlet?str1=abc&str2=def");
URLConnection servletConnection = servletURL.openConnection();you can get the objectOutputStream
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream (servletConnection.getOutputStream());
oos.writeObject(your file object);-------------------------------------------------
In the servlet u can get the strings using request.getParameter("str1");
In the servlet u can get the strings using request.getParameter("str2");
file = new ObjectInputStream (request.getInputStream()).readObject()a lot of resources are available on this ...
hope this helps :)

Calling Servlet from a java prog?

Hi all,
I am calling servlet from a java prog (Java Agent in Lotus Notes) by using URL and URLConnection object. how can i trigger the Servlet By using doPost method .I have to send some parameter also.
Thanx
Muthu

you need to open a connection to the servlet. Then you must call getInputStream() and getOutputStream() and use them in any way you see fit. I was trying this before and could not get POST to work unless I openned the input stream from the servlet. Strange... but doGet worked without openning the input stream???
// open a connection....
// write to the servlet
servletConnection.getOutputStream().write("whatever");
servletConnection.getOutputStream().flush();
servletConnection.getOutputStream().close();
// grab what the servlet sends back, required to do a post.
byte [] in = new byte[100];
servletConnection.getInputStream().read(in);
servletConnection.getInputStream().close();

Very urgent: call servlet from JSP

Hello,
I'm facing a problem in invoking a servlet from a JSP having the JSF components.
The application has a text field to implement ajax for search functionality in the database .I have written a servlet to make the database connection and fire the querry.
Ajax implementation in a js file is called on every keyup event in the jsp file,and
a call is given to the servlet from the ajax methode.
The function in the js file is as follows:-
function getPersonByFirstNameXML( firstName ) {
    if (!firstName) {
        clearPersonByFirstNameXML();
    } else {
        var url = BASE_URL + "/servlet/get_PersonsXML";
        alert(url);
        return new AJAXRequest("post", url, "firstName=" + encode(firstName), processGetPersonByFirstNameXML);
}Im getting the myAJAX.status value as 500.
I think I'm not able to access the servlet properly.
what changes do i need to make in the we.xml file ?
and what should be the url to be passed.
Please provide me a sloution to the above problem as it is very urgent else if anybody is aware of a readymade JSF componet with search functionality freely available please let me know.
PS:
The sample application named RedirectionExample which makes use of a servlet and would be of help to you. You can find the tutorial on the following page:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/codesamples/sampleapps.html
is not available as stated in some of the suggestions by Author: mayagiri
Thanks for any help.
Abhi

the status 500 generally means either HTTP server internal error or that execution of CGI script or servlet aborted with error.
It can be reasonably supposed that the request reaches the servlet, ie. that "url" value points to some existing servlet, otherwise most probably the status value would be 404.
To test that the servlet is working i'd try to access it using some simple html page with form like this (with {BASE_URL} replaced by real value):
<form method=post action={BASE_URL}/servlet/get_PersonsXML>
<input type=text name=firstName>
<input type=Submit>
</form>

Calling servlet from another method

Hi,
I am writing a program which requires executing another servlet from within
thie main program. I do not care to return the information from the servlet
request.
http://usx500.crn.st.com:7000/TPMCenter_V2/insertAutomationValue.do?reqCode=confirmed
Thanks for the help.

The reason I continue posting this question, is because I cannot find a solution.
I have looked through the link provided, as well as many other solutions on the web,
none which have been successful. Following are two solutions which I have tried, and
niether have worked. I still am in need of some help in resolving this. If you would like
to assist me in this it would be greatly appreciated.

Solution 1 ---
    try {

        String hostname = "usx500.crn.st.com" ;
        int port = 7000 ;
        InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName( hostname );
        Socket socket = new Socket( addr, port );
        // Send header

response.reset();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
while((size=sImage.read(bytearray))!= -1 )
