Calling a Servlet from a Java application

Question

I want to call a Servlet from a Java application. The problem is, that the call seems not to reach the Servlet. I do not get any error, but do not reach the first output \"d

Answer 1

URLConnection is only lazily executed whenever you call any of the get methods.

Add the following to your code to actually execute the HTTP request and obtain the servlet response body.

InputStream response = servletConnection.getInputStream();
