Using HttpClient for a servlet include

["Beller, Maximilian" <m....@hpc-hamburg.de>]

Hi!

I need to include an url from an external server like:

HttpServletRequest request;
request.getRequestDispatcher(externalURL).include(request, response);


As this approach doesn't work for URLs from foreign hosts I looked at
HttpClient to "simulate" something like an include.

I've managed to call my external URL. The action behind it is executing
successfully.

But I need the external action to access my HttpServletRequest(session)
and HttpServletResponse. 

Is HttpClient the correct approach? And how can i manage
HttpServletRequest/HttpServletResponse with HttpClient??

Thank you for any help,
Max

Those are local objects you can not and should not expose to external 
applications. Please consider the use of web services in conjunction 
with EJBs. Otherwise I fear you will end up in a terrible mess.
