Including the output of a jsp in one server into the a jsp in another serve

Question

Hi,
I have a web server(w1) which contains a jsp file (jsp1).
I have an application server(a1) which contains a jsp file (jsp2).
Both w1 and a1 are running in different machines.
I want the output of jsp2 to be inserted into jsp1.
The control should always be in jsp1. Just like a method call jsp2 should be executed and results are to be included in jsp1.
Hope my explaination is clear.
include tag is not working for the above scenario.
Can anybody help me with a piece of code.
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just create a new URL object to jsp2 read in the stream and write it into jsp1.
For example:
// this is jsp1
URL url = new URL( "http://www.somewhere/jsp2" );
HttpURLConnection con = ( HttpURLConnection ) url.openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod( "POST" );
con.setAllowUserInteraction( true );
con.setDoInput( true );
con.setDoOutput( true );
// Post any arguments here.
OutputStream os = con.getOutputStream();
os.write( ( "FNAME=" + fName + "&LNAME=" + lName ).getBytes() );
os.flush();
reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( con.getInputStream() ) );
// Read response from jsp2
while ( ( line = reader.readLine() ) != null )
// write the response into jsp1
out.println( line );
Hope this helps,
