One servlet calling another?

[Mike Bryant <mb...@c-cor.net>]

First of all, sorry if the answer to this is in a document somewhere-- I
must've missed it.

Here is what I would like to do:
An html form calls a controller servlet which, based on the data in the
form, calls another servlet to crunch the data and do something with it.
The output fron the second servlet is passed back to the browser client,

Is this possible with Tomcat?  If so, are there known issues with using this?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

You might want to check out the Struts framework.  It provides the
functionality your looking for plus some!  I don't think they have a final
release yet, but it's pretty stable.

You can check it out here http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/index.html.
