I haven't used mycgiserver heavily, but I've played around with it and found it to be reasonable - certainly should be OK for your demonstration purposes. However, the main downside I encountered was that it seemed very slow at serving up JSPs, when compared to Servlets. This might not be important for your demo. I haven't used the DB facilities, so I can't attest to their usability/performance.
It's easy to get set up on mycgiserver.com. If you like it & think you'll carry on using it, check out 'enabling the upgrade' and consider making a contribution!

I'm a fairly novice Java programmer but with a good OO background. I have a fair understanding of JSP and Servlets in general, though I am hazy about their deployment.....read on....! By the end of the week I will be attending an interview and am expected to show a sample of my work...in the shape of an interactive website! My provisional plan is to employ JSP/Servlets and a simple database and then upload the completed work to the mycgiserver.com site. Is anyone familiar with this Java hosting service? Do I need Tomcat installed on my PC for testing? I have just installed FORTE and am still familiarising myself with its features. Can someone please help form a game plan? :-( Anthony. ____________________________________________________ To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm Be respectful!
