Servlet to call another Servlet?

[Farce Milverk]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a Servlet on Server A call a Servlet on Server B
(both running single instances of an identical webapplication) without using
a Proxy setup? For example, if a request comes into Servlet (on server A) I
want the servlet on server B to handle the request at address
http://serverB/servlet/servletB...


The goal is to have Servlet B handle the request fielded by Server A, and
have the result passed back to the client via server A. Server B is not
visible to the client web browser.

Thanks for any tips.

Farce.

You could have Servlet A masquerade as a webbrowser, making the
appropriate request to Servlet B, and then return whatever it receives from
servlet B back to the original client that made the request.

Also, lookup the term SOA.
