Invoking web services via Tomcat

["robert@infotility.com" <ro...@infotility.com>]

Hello,

I've used Tomcat to build web services and it is terrific.
Thanks a lot to all the Tomcat developers.

I need to call out from a servlet to a remote web service.
I know I can do this by piecing together a HTTP POST,
but I wonder if there are some functions in Tomcat to make
this easier. Hopefully I am overlooking something obvious.

Also, the request must be made via HTTPS.
Hopefully that doesn't complicate things too much.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this topic.

Nope. 'fraid not. However, take a look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/index.html
