Greetings, friends!
Re: Mark's question:
1. Wanted: servlet to application communications (boo? what app?)
2. service( ServletRequest req ) -- invoked on client's requests
3. How does client _set_ the parameters passed in this
ServletRequest req?
As Rod points out:
>Servlet parameters come in via HTTP requests, so typically the
>client is a browser. It can also be a program [...]
Right. The Servlets API is just an interface, between your _servlet_, and
the _server_ it is running on.
The client will be talking to this server, in whatever protocol they choose,
_typically_ HTTP, right?
Recommended (Java source code) to study:
1. ServletFactory /Ted Stockwell et al. --
http://www.earlymorning.com/ServletFactory -- is a
(small?) WebServer, Java sources; you want to see how it bridges
with CGI, parameters converted between HTTP & CGI, etc
2. HTTPClient /Ronald Tschalar--
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/comp/programming/languages/oo/java/
classes/network/HTTPClient.zip -- that's what you want on the client's side!
Both these packs are (huge and) *very impressive*, with tutorials, the
_sources_, etc.
3. RFC 2068: HTTP/1.1 Specifications -- http://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2068.txt
(Rod rec'd Jason's book.)
Write if you need anything.
(Will you post your sources as opensource, so we can study too?)
