So please tell me how to do that

Please help.

Please reply with coding ...

hehe you need to use a XML parser. read the XML in and then parse for that node. Then you can do what ever you want with it. I wouldn't call this XML-Servlet communication though. It's more like a Servlet handling a HTTPRequest of XML content.

Why not just do Web Services.
