(apologies to those for whom this is a cross-post)
after many months, i'm finally able to announce releases of my various servlet packages. - libservlet 0.9.2 (servlet api) http://libservlet.sourceforge.net/ - Wombat 0.7.1 (servlet container) http://wombat.sourceforge.net/ - Apache::Wombat 0.5.1 (embeds Wombat w/in Apache/mod_perl) http://wombat.sourceforge.net/apache/ these are all what you might call 'preview releases'. even if the idea of servlets gets you all hot, you probably don't want to start porting your apps just yet. but you can now fairly easily set up a mod_perl-based environment for servlet applications. it's pretty neat. docs ==== there are installation instructions at the Apache::Wombat site. given my history with cpan and bundles and what not, i wouldn't be surprised to hear of problems. please direct them to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. thanks. other than what you see on the web sites, there's not really any other documentation. nothing that draws it all up in a nice package with a ribbon on top. you will have to do a little bit of thinking. but hopefully some of you will be motivated to do so. what's next =========== now that these initial releases exist, i'm working on a new round. currently that means writing servlet wrappers for mason, axkit and possibly other popular templating systems. i'll also be working more on spec compliance. my goal with all this is to stimulate discussion on web application standards and how webapps integrate with p5ee as it evolves. i'm not going to be a fierce advocate of servlets themselves, but i hope that many of you will experiment with the software and see for yourselves the many good ideas in the servlet spec (and learn from the mistakes).
