Call a servlet with post method?

[Former Member]

Is it possible to sent a request from a webdynpro to a servlet via the POST method?

Can someone give me a example?

Hello Peter,

You can use HTTPClient from Jakarta

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient

Example of using POST method http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/methods/post.html

Example:

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
			
String strURL = "http://localhost/Servlet";
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(strURL);
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
int result = httpclient.executeMethod(post);
String responseAsString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();

Thx this is a possible way, but it does not look like a design pattern …

Is there no smarter way to do this?

Hello Peter,

Check destinations service:

It should looks like

final HttpURLConnection  connection = _HTTPDestination.getURLConnection("POST");
