Supposed to post XML variables to a Servlet via HTTP

I'm passing credentials from one app to another...

Can someone help me understand what an XML Post is? And how
I pass variables to a Java servlet using an XML Post via HTTP?
Do I use XSL?

No, this is special-cased: if the node test has the form attribute(xxx)
or
schema-attribute(xxx) then the axis defaults to the the attribute axis.

self::node() selects the context node regardless what kind it is, the
principal node kind doesn't come into it. So the above expression is
fine.
But self::*/@foo will never select anything.
