In fact I have a servlet. I know that a servlet can easily output html. But in my case I want the sevlet to create a html file instead of outputing html content throuth the browser.
Here I have a simple servlet generated by Netbeans IDE. how can I get this servlet to produce an HTML file instead
of simply printing html content to the browser?
the reason is that I want to post the html file back to a GUI applicaton which will display it using a htmlPane or similar. If I was going to make the html content available for viewing that would available to the whole public, isn't it?
Thanks in advance
