Typically you use a RemoteService to communicate with a server. To do that, you create an interface that extends RemoteService and an implementation on the server that implements that interface and extends RemoteServiceServlet. All that is described in more detail here. If you need to make a call to some servlet that isn't a remote service servlet, you can use RequestBuilder to send an HTTP request to that servlet's URL.

An Anchor is basically just a normal HTML <a> tag which could link to the URL of a servlet.

You have to manually create one httpClient & call GET/POST method.

Below is sample code using POST method:

//---

    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

    BufferedReader br = null;

    PostMethod method = new PostMethod("http://someUrl.com");
    method.addParameter("p", "\"parameter\"");

    int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);

    if(statusCode == HttpStatus.SC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) {
         System.out.println("Not Supported");
         method.getResponseBodyAsString();
    } else {
         br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(method.getResponseBodyAsStream()));
         String readLine;
         while(((readLine = br.readLine()) != null)) {
              System.out.println(readLine);
          }
    }
