title: providing a java servlet with information
body: <p>i am new to servlets. I made a simple hello world programme that prints those famous 2 words to the screen when i access the page via a browser using <a href="http://localhost:8080/mypath/path" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/mypath/path</a>...</p>
  
  <p>My question is now, how do i provide a servlet with information? Specifically considering the fact that my c# programme calculates a lookup value for a global system, then the "java" servlet processes that and returns a set of results.</p>
  
  <p>I have done the reverse thanks to help on here, regarding calling a returned string from the java servlet in c#. However i am not sure how i go about providing the servlet information. Do i pass it via the url? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
