Desktop app. communicate with remote Tomcat servlet

Question

I am looking for some code examples of a local java program that communicates with a servlet on a tomcat server.

I am trying to write a program that can send a single string to the server and be returned another string. Quite a simple thing but cannot find any tutorials or examples for communication with a remote server.
