There are two separate modules that support Java in AOLserver: ns_tomcat which provides an identical interface as Apache tomcat (and no real advantages) and ns_java, which is coming out of the OpenACS project. ns_java exposes AOLserver's pooled, persistent database API to java. There's also support available for Python, though there's still a lot of work to be done to support the full AOLserver API (same's true of ns_java, actually). If you use ADP pages, your use of Tcl is typically restricted to snippets of code anyway, so I've never really understood the complaints about Tcl... - Don Baccus, Portland OR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nature photos, on-line guides, Pacific Northwest Rare Bird Alert Service and other goodies at http://donb.photo.net.
