HTTP url issue

Question

Hi all,
I am new to using flex
Im working on a application where the front end makes a post
request
to the servlet.
I don't know how to set the URL in the httpservice call.
In a web java project in which front end was a basic html
page with a
form to be posted to the servlet, the URL was given just as
PrefetchService/PrefetchServiceServlet" which is the location
of the
servlet; but what I dont understand is the same
representation for
httpservice url in flex does not send a call to the servlet.
Though
this could be done by giving the entire URL to the location
of the
servlet, the server on which the project is run changes
regularly and
so either I need to dynamically generate the URL and then
make a http
service call (or) there should be some way to handle calls to
a
servlet in the same project . I would like to know how I
could get rid
of this problem.
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
This is the location where the servlet runs :
http://veappl007.dhcp.wdf.sap.corp:50000/Prefetch/PrefetchServiceServlet
and the location where the html containing swf runs is:
http://veappl007.dhcp.wdf.sap.corp:50000/Prefetch/PrefetchService.html
I have tried all ways giving url="PrefetchServiceServlet.do"
and url="/Prefetch/PrefetchServiceServlet.do"
but of no use.
Early i had built some basic html with some form ..there i
was giving "/Prefetch/PrefetchServiceServlet" in the form action
tag.. there it was working fine i.e request was going from html
page to the servlet..but i dont know why it does not work
here..
