Communication between two web applications running on different tomcat

[JavaJSPServlet]

Hi All,

We are developing a Java,JSP,Servlet based application. That will be partly on two Tomacats. When we click on one button in a JSP page of the application residing on one Tomcat the request will be tranferred to another part of the application on another Tomcat. We will do serching from some databases and need to save search results. When we go to first part of the applcation the saved search results should be visible from there. We also want o manage the state of both parts of the application. Please let me know how this can be achieved

Thanks for your response in advance

Regards
Nitin

Use one Tomcat

Anyway, once the page is delivered to html or whatever, you can use the submit property to send it to the other Tomcat instance.

Cheers,
Dian

You could install some sort of messaging system (like JMS or JAX-WS) to pass information around, but easiest is to just use a database that both applications have access to.
