How to send a request from servlets to another server

Question

I want to send a request to another server from my servlet and get the response being in the same servlet. For Example: arequest :

http://www.anotherserver.com?para=pValue

is sent to anotherserver, and get the response which it sends and then process the response.

Is there a way to retrieve the response which the other server send in RequestDispatcher ? — Débora, Mar 27 '12 at 15:46

You can use Apache HttpClient (http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/index.html) in your Java code to make HTTP calls.
