Your problem is that building robust servers is hard, and you want to use a servlet architecture. Well and good: this is a serious problem. Its solution is to use someone else's robust server and write servlets for it. What does this have to do with the bits-on-the-wire protocol that connects the server to clients? NOTHING! _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@miketaylor.org.uk> www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Vis-a-vis the metabolic processes, 'e's 'ad 'is lot!" -- Monty Python.
