Using HttpsURLConnection is a bottleneck. If you only have one user,
then fine, if a few charge cards at the same time, it will bottleneck.
I have never done it the easy way (I'm a glutton for punishment! ;-),
but AFAIK, the most common way for the easy way out is to let the
provider provide the form and handle the user interaction inside a
frame of one of your pages.
Usually your provider will give you instructions specific to sending a
user to their credit card page where the user fills in the details and
processes the payment.
For example if you go to this page on this site and right-click on the
actual form and open in a new window, you will see that the form is
really a page on the credit card provider's site shown inside a html
frame on the originating site.

asp dev!)
Did your bank provider provide you with a development kit/manual?

Hi Kieran,
thanks for the link and your blog;)
If I'm not that expert in WO and java programming, would you say I
should go for the HttpsURLConnection or I could stick with your
example and go for the HttpClient library from Apache?
What would be the method to provide another page than the WO
application, like sending the user to the bank website? I've never
done something like that...
Thanks for your help

And for multi-threading management, I like this free library........

After digging a little more with the information provided by the
bank, it appears I have the following:
-a method to create the form which uses htmlEncode() to convert the
characters and provide me with a String of the form
So I only have one question (for now;)): how to make my WO action
call the form created and "execute it" by returning the url
specified as the "action" in this form?
Thanks:)

Hi guys,
I need to send a form using a WO action, I also have to use "post"
for it.
Of course I have to send a couple values with it;) The action of
this from has to send my visitor to another website (url).
Yes it's online payment;)
I think it's not a big deal, but I don't really know where to
start, and how to do it, especially using a "post" action...
Could someone point me to a tutorial or a sample so I could get
started?
One more thing regarding this, the bank requires me to encode
everything in the form like "://" would become
"://", is there something in WO that can do it or
should I pass the strings to a custom method that would convert all
the characters?
Thanks a lot
Xavier
