Problems posting XML to an Apache server from a win2000 server

Question

Hi.
I am ultra fresh to java so any help will be greatly appriciated.
What i'm trying to do is to post some xml to a remote server.
The remote server is Apache (that's all i know) and it only accepts post, not get as a method.
I'm using a win2000 adv server, iis5.
This file (post.jsp) is located in my webroot.
The code is as follows:
<%@ page import="java.net.*" %>
<%
try {
String xmlString = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>";
xmlString = "<REQUEST>";
xmlString += "<USERNAME>xxxxx</USERNAME>";
xmlString += "<PASSWORD>xxxx</PASSWORD>";
xmlString += "<ACTION>";
xmlString += "<RETURNTYPE>XML</RETURNTYPE>";
xmlString += "<GET-FTIME>on</GET-FTIME>";
xmlString += "<TRANSFORM>on</TRANSFORM>";
xmlString += "</ACTION>";
xmlString += "<PACKET>";
xmlString += "<NAME>HJEM-P�-D�REN</NAME>";
xmlString += "<FROM-PNR>1158</FROM-PNR>";
xmlString += "<TO-PNR>8001</TO-PNR>";
xmlString += "<DATE>06.09.2000</DATE>";
xmlString += "<CLOCK>1400</CLOCK>";
xmlString += "<WEIGHT>200</WEIGHT>";
xmlString += "<LENGTH>75</LENGTH>";
xmlString += "<WIDTH>18</WIDTH>";
xmlString += "<HEIGHT>10</HEIGHT>";
xmlString += "</PACKET>";
xmlString += "</REQUEST>";
URL url = new URL("http://xxxxxxxx");
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
con.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
con.setFollowRedirects(true);
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream()));
bw.write("xmltekst=" + xmlString);
bw.flush();
bw.close();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();
String result ="";
while (line !=null) {
     result += line;
     line = br.readLine();
br.close();
out.print("Resultat: " + result);
} catch(Exception exc) {
exc.printStackTrace();
%>
Can you see any obvious errors?
When i try to open it in my browser (IE6.0)
It produces the following:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
A name was started with an invalid character. Line 1, Position 2
<%@ page import="java.net.*" %>
-^
Wich really helps a lot. :roll:
Apperantly it thinks it's XML or something.
Anyone able to help me with this one?
Thank you in advance! :)

When you try to open what in your browser? I was following your question -- your JSP creates an XML and sends it to another server and receive the server's reply -- but then all of a sudden you dragged in a browser. What does it have to do with the question?
