RE: URLConnection in a Servlet

Posted by Brian Sanders on November 20, 2001 at 5:09 PM

The best way to do this depends on your particular application. In general, you open a URLConnection with the method URL.openConnection(). However, with a servlet there are many ways you can retrieve/proxy/filter the contents of a page. You might put some time into verifying that this is the best way to handle the situation.

You can find several object pooling implementations in the Jakarta Commons project.
