I have got an issue in calling a servlet within a simple java class for testing purpose. I want to pass a parameter along with the servlet and the method will be POST. How it can be achieved?
While searching through the answers I saw someone recommended HTTPClient. But just wondering whether there is a way to avoid this.
All you have to do is to request a URL. Put all the name, value pairs as you would normally have, and open a stream on it.
Here the example code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
public class SpecialServlet extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println ("Hello " + req.getParameter("name") + ", this is SpecialServlet!");
out.close();
}
}
The java program:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class CmdLineApplication
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
String line;
try
{
URL url = new URL( "http://127.0.0.1/servlet/special?name=CmdLineApplication" );
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
line = in.readLine();
System.out.println( line );
in.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Place the servlet .class file in the WEB-INF/classes
dir of your servlet engine. Run the other class on command line the usual way:
java CmdLineApplication
You should see the string from the servlet
The servlet container is responsible for initializing and calling servlet. You cannot do directly calling a servlet class.
For posting a request, you can use HttpClient.
Or you can use a
Use following code.Using this code you can maintain sessions also.
package webapp;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
public class HttpClientSingleton {
public static HttpClientSingleton mSingleton = null;
public static HttpClient mHttpClient = null;
//constructor
private HttpClientSingleton(){
mHttpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
}
public static HttpClientSingleton getInstance(){
if( mSingleton == null ){
mSingleton = new HttpClientSingleton();
}
return mSingleton;
}
}
jsp file:
<%
try{
int i=0;
String sid = "ED6379C8FDDB801EB970BBDE55E5732D";
HttpClientSingleton h1 = HttpClientSingleton.getInstance();
HttpClient client= h1.mHttpClient;
HttpPost responses = new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/docinbangalore/Billing_address_display?sid="+sid+"");
try {
HttpResponse respons = client.execute(responses);
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(respons.getEntity().getContent()));
String line = "";
out.println(line = rd.readLine());
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
out.println(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}}
catch(Exception e)
{
out.println(e);
}
