Calling a URL from Java Servlet

Question

I have a PHP URL that inserts a record into a CRM system. I need in my servlet to execute this URL - as if I was redirecting to the page (I don't really want to redirect to the page)

I have code that connects to the URL and reads the content of the page but what I want is just to "Execute" the URL .

What am I missing?

Thanks.

URL myURL = new URL("http://mydomain.com/test.jsp?myparam=bb");
URLConnection myURLConnection = myURL.openConnection();
myURLConnection.connect();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new 
                       InputStreamReader(myURLConnection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)  {
       System.out.println(inputLine);
}
in.close();

Answer 1

You can try JSoup

String url = "http://mydomain.com/test.jsp?myparam=bb"";
    Document doc = null;
    try {
        doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

You could use the commons net library. Here's the home tutorial: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/tutorial.html
