servlet output- urgent!!

Hi,

I am sending a username and password to a servlet for authentification. The servlet authentifies and outputs the response as:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <palm_resp>
- <palm_prof>
<sess_id>123</sess_id>
- <user>
<code>123</code>
<name>manuel</name>
</user>
- <app_info>
<app_id>APP_1</app_id>
<app_name>aplicacao 1</app_name>
</app_info>
</palm_prof>
</palm_resp>


I need to obtain this response in my PHP code in a variable so that I can parse it later.. Can anyone pl tell me as to how I can send this info from my servlet to my PHP??

TIA,

sandeep

I've probably read this wrong, but it sound like one of the following

1) http response such as

PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println("<authourised>true</authourised>");
out.flush();
out.close();

2) you want the servlet to send and HTTP request to the PHP (which sound like a weird way of doing something, as it completely negate the transactional approach of servlets), but I don't know your reasoning, so you probably want to do it as below...

HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)new URL("http://www.phpserveraddress/phpscript.php?authourise=true");
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
con.getResponseCode();

Is that any help?
