Invoking Servlet thru URL ??

[db2sachin]

Can I call a sevlet from an HTML page throught its URL directly without having any submit button on the HTML form ?

hi

yes you can but the url is function the way you map the servlet in your application server.

if you don't map the servlet the standard url for calling a servlet is :

http://server/webapp/servlet/com.mypackage.MyServlet

if you have a servlet whose name is MyServlet and package is com.mypackage...

Again, the answer is yes. But it does sometimes depend on the server that hosts the servlet. And some servlets are not necessarily in packages. For example, if you had a servlet called Hello.java, with the jakarta server installed on your machine. then u would call the servlet like so:

http://localhost:port#/examples/servlet/Hello

where localhost is your machines IP number and port# is the port to connect to. /examples/servlet is the default path where the jakarta server stores its servlets.

Hope that helped.
