Problem while accesing servlet from server (without connection object)

[adusumillinaveen]

Hi All Techies,

I wish I will find solution for this atleast in this ?

Question:- I have a servlet running on a JRun4.0 - IIS combination on machine XYZ. Now I am trying to access this servlet from other machine.

Scenario :-

1. If Server is up and the servlet is placed in proper location -> IT will produce the desired output on the browser.

2. If the Server is up and the servlet is not in proper place/not present -> My Intention is to display a meaningful message on the browser. (Instead of default message I want to customize this page.)

3.If the Server is down and the servlet is placed in proper location -> My Intention is to display a meaningful message on the browser. (Instead of default message I want to customize this page.)


To achieve this (scenario 2 & 3 -> Error Message) I don't want the solution from Java API, (java.net.* package). I don't want to use Connection object to check the server status (it is running or not / class file is present or ont), because if in a scenario of 100 concurrent users, The traffic load will be high and it will reduce performance.

Try to explore this without connection object .....

Thanks,

Naveen

I think you can use another servlet to check the status of the server and output the status to a simple plain text periodically.
Your original servlet will read the status(Read only).
I think the traffic of reading from a short plain text(several bytes) of 100 users is very low.
