Capturing data from a servlet response

[Rishi N <re...@hotmail.com>]

hi,

i have a peculiar problem, and i don't know if its possible to tackle it 
with servlets. this is the problem:

I have a servlet which returns certain information, using the response 
object's printWriter. Until now, i was directly returning it to the browser, 
by setting content-type to "html/text" etc. Now i'd like to call this 
servlet from another servlet, and have the info in the response object sent 
back to the calling servlet, which can then take actions depending upon the 
data received. is it possible to do this at all with servlets? i see that 
there is a 'servletResponse.getOutputStream()" method, which can be used to 
return binary data. can i somehow use this, for the above purpose? if 
someone has done this, could you kindly provide some code?

thanks,
rishi
