Thank you all for answering! But I seem not to have stated my problem clearly: I know how I can POST to an uri using Java. My problem is that I want the user to be redirected (or forwarded) to the page my action has posted the data to.
The easy way to handle this is: put a button on my page by which the customer selects his preferred payment service. creati an action which prepares the values needed by this payment service. This action forwards to a little jsp-page which contains a form with all the data. When the user submits the form, he is transferred to the payment service with all neccessary information. This means two clicks by the user for just selecting a payment service. I do want to make a one-click procedure from this. A solution found by googling automates the second submit by javascript. This is what I now have implemented. The question is: is there a more elegant way? If I use any of the http client approaches (either using java.net or commons httpclient) I get the response somewhere in my action, but it should be in the user's browser. Probably one could say that I need sort of (transparent) proxy like behaviour.
