http - Java servlet: transfer XML file to servlet

Question

I'm having a hard time deciding how to do this correctly so any input would be appreciated.

I'm trying to transfer my xml files from and applet to a servlet.

The solution I found for now is to pass the XML file as a string of data in a POST request.

When googling the problem I found the option of sending it by FTP.

What I would like to know is is there a way to simply transfer a XML file using HTTP

Answer 1

You are on the correct track. Do a HTTP POST of the XML to a Servlet. But if the number of XML's to be transferred is huge then FTP might be the right option.
