java - Sending data from swing to Servlet

Question

How to send data (form data) from a Swing to the servlet. Is it as simple as specifying in action attribute as in html(form)?

I am passing data to Servlet using this code:

URL url = new URL(targetURL); 
connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");

What is that I have to pass to url i.e in place of targetURL (do I need to mention Servlet location) so that I can retrieve values in the servlet?

You need to use HttpUrlConnection in order to communicate using HttpRequest
