Hi Dieter
I have been on this servlets list for a long time ( probably a year or more )
and it gets very few questions of any nature. Marty may or may not have been
doing his homework, but he is saying he is trying to write a servlet.
So if one should not talk about how to write any old servlet program here,
what should one talk about on this list ?
As mentioned, a file up-load program is completely listed in the "Java Servlet
Programming" book and is one of its largest listings.
And more importantly, where in your opinion is a list that we can freely discuss
servlet application code ?
In my opinion, many people are dissuaded from submitting anything, if what they
read on the list is along the lines of:-
> but still I sometimes wonder how such things end up on this mailing list.<
What I want is a list where we can discuss anything regrading servlet
programming, even if it's a simple problem to most programmers.
btw, file up loading using a servlet, I do not consider to be trivial.
Even the books program does not work in all cases, and I found the code
unnecessarily broken up into seemingly random small routines all uncorrelated to
the mentioned rfc1867 it proports to implement, which made reading and
understanding it much more complicated ( and longer ) then it could have been.
After some work, I now have what I consider to be a simple and
customisable file uploader,
and I'd be happy to send it to anyone on this list who wants to use it.
Best regards
James Burton
